| Oct 24, 2023 at 18:53 | comment | added | T. Sar | @This_is_NOT_a_forum Our team's total size, including everyone, is barely above 200 employees - the software team is around 50 people or so. And yet, somehow, we're doing better than SE and their 1.8 billion sale, with their team being double the size and serving a way broader appeal platform, that is actually monetized per month instead of a single, relatively cheap one-time license if the user finds the software useful and wants premium. | |

My own company tried teams when it launched, and now it is basically a dead corner of our process that nobody uses. If teams was sucessful as this article claim, we wouldn't be having those layoffs... | |

That business now has every possible bank on the platform, every tech company that you can imagine, big retail companies, Microsoft, you name it. With all these 15,000 organizations..." | |
