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.
This does worry me a bit. We have an RTO policy. I report to a satellite office far away from corporate HQ which i transferred to after COVID, where I literally work with nobody in this actual building.
We are supposed to go in 2 days a week. I haven’t come to the office in over a year. And the only guy I knew in this office retired recently. I will be surprised if my desk hasn’t been cannibalized.
I guess I’m in a bit of a bind now. Lol! Shit. I don’t like this article.
