I wanted to punch my monitor so badly during that time-wasting “Fireside Chat”. They are seriously downplaying the impact on daily operations and productivity. I can’t stand this smug Mario Lopez doppelgänger guy and how he defends this nonsense by rationalizing that many big companies have “Gone Google”. If they think they’re removing 80-90% of Microsoft licenses by the end of the year, then they must be smoking some crazy stuff. As someone who has been experimenting with the Google suite, let me be clear, they are Mickey Mouse tools that are more appropriate for middle school students or the mom & pop corner bakery. Either they are severely inept, which is totally possible, or they are panicking behind the scenes and have too much pride to acknowledge that they f’ed up. This will give them another excuse, other than tariffs, to explain the company’s decline. Expect a bullet point on the 2027 Kickoff Google Slides to say something to the effect of “Unexpected Technological Challenges in an Agile Environment”.

@17j wonder how many complaints it will take for this reckless decision is rolled back.
This is going to be a sh*t show I got Google early and still not getting all my emails and teams messages in Google. There in Microsoft but not Google. Plus certain emails are not forwarding in Google. I'm sure there many other issue in not aware of.
@q0 you mean the transition in a week? That they announced this week? The same announcement that says you can’t click or login to the forced upon G suite to get a head start to learn how to use these programs built for start up or small companies? Many will suffer severe consequences due to the learning curve. Work will be missed. Patience will be thin. Customers will bounce. Meanwhile the enforcement team will look the other way and give praise.
73 Questions asked. I think 3 were answered. These 2 guys will be experiencing a nasty future after the March transition. Let's say a prayer!
Are you listening, Sammy Sun? Probably not as he's so tone-deaf to reality. Dipsh-t CEO.
@d9 how poetic for the company's downfall to land closely on the Ides of March
@cn March 9
Ok...
When is the switch supposed to happen?
