Title

Helpful tip from Teams

Description

I was looking up something<fn> about my account in <i>Microsoft Teams</i> (<i>Teams</i>) the other day. As I was looking at that, <i>Teams</i> showed me the following tip on the dropdown menu. <img src="{att_link}update_work_hours.png" align="none" caption="Update work hours?"> Does it look like that? Does it really, <i>Teams</i>? <i>How could it possibly look like that if you've been paying attention at all?</i> Teams is on all day on my machine. When I log in at 07:00 every day, <i>Teams</i> is active. When I log out around 16:00 on a workday, <i>Teams</i> knows about it. I work 07:00--16:00 on about 90% of my workdays. I'm really like the proverbial Swiss clock. You would think that a silly feature like this would be able to detect that my hours are already set correctly (they are). So what's the problem? How can <i>Teams</i> get this so stupidly wrong? How did this feature pass any testing at all, when it doesn't work for the easiest case? <hr> <ft>Ok, fine...I couldn't remember my own job title. 🤷‍♀️</ft>
