A simple Microsoft 365 Roadmap update will now generate a raft of unhappy headlines. The idea is simple. “When users connect to their organization’s Wi-Fi, Teams will automatically set their work location to reflect the building they are working in.”
Forget the locational anonymity of a Teams virtual background. Teams will update your location when connected to your company’s WiFi. On video, you may have your usual background complete with company logo. But your boss will know you’re not in work.
Wait who was getting away with working from home when their boss thinks they’re in the office anyway? Is that a thing in big companies??
My entire agency is like 10 people so we all work in the same room (it is hell, the marketing trio are the most annoying fuckers on earth) so they’d definitely know if I was WFH so this makes no difference to me.
