Specifically, Teams will detect if the user has connected to the company’s own Wi-Fi and automatically set the work location accordingly to the respective building.
I don’t know why anyone would expect otherwise from Teams?
I understand the hate on teams. But this is too allow for the correct location data for e911 and first responders. This makes sure they show up at the correct building when Tim goes from hq to the production building and has a emergency and calls 911 via teams.
Edit: lmao, sorry for trying to add some context and activity to the post. I’ll stay out of this community. <3
No, it’s so your boss can spy on you more…
Stuff can be two things
Anybody who calls 911 from teams deserves to die anyway
Sorry to inject some shades of gray into your very black and white life but your supervisor actually needs to know where you are if there’s a fire or something. Or, at least, mine does.
Really because up until now it hasn’t seemed to be a problem? Everybody seems to be managing just fine without it for the last 10 years, and organizations using different communication tools seem to make do.
Teams doing it automatically based on what network your computer is connecting to might be appealing to places where it’s been tracked manually. I’m not saying they aren’t doing it to monitor work from home, but acting like they’re mustache-twirling villains with nothing but malice behind their decisions just gives people a reason to disregard you.
Malice first. Then maneuver the safety angle second for PR Purposes.
The same thing the evils do with regressing rights to privacy… “It’s for the children”
And what are we taking about here?? That’s right, privacy regression.
Get fucked
