It's Michael, really. (@gmpoet_) reported@Microsoft should hire me so I can fix whatever bullshit @Skype foreign currency scam is going on. It's ludicrous that I can't delete my Skype account THAT I NEVER USE BECAUSE SKYPE SUCKS without deleting my entire MSFT account (which I mostly never use).

Jean Thoensen 🗳️🎓🍫 (@JeanThoensen) reportedHey @Skype your chat feature for tech support counts down my position in queue, then sits on “1” forever. How can I get support through chat? I didn’t switch focus to other windows. Wasted a lot of time on this.

John Kelley (@freethelemmings) reportedWhen your job uses both @Skype and @MicrosoftTeams it's a lot like when you change cable companies and the new company literally rips out any of the old existing connections just to make the other company's life hell if they ever have to hook up service again. #GetYourOwnSandbox
