> since it's literally coercing somebody to accept Microsoft's abusive privacy and service policies that explicitly state that unless agreed, their products can't be used.

As an employee, the company sets the conditions and tools to work there.

If communication is to happen on Microsoft Teams, and you refuse to use it, your future employment with them seems difficult. Same as if you refused to show up to meetings, or kept sound isolation headphones on at all times, including when your boss wanted to speak with you. Or you would never use a telephone.

When using enterprise tools, I expect the employer to have accepted the terms of use; most employees can't bind the employer.

I certainly prefer to avoid Microsoft communications tools, but if the work is interesting enough, I guess it's fine.
