Who knew that moving essential services like Outlook and Teams to the cloud would end up being a disaster? Older IT professionals, that’s who.

Dear Microsoft,

No rush. Take your time. Spend time with your family. Prioritize your mental health.

Happy Friday All

Sincerely,
Every corporate employee.😭
