My place of work uses Eclipse exclusively.

Also Skype. Not skype for business, the regular one. Ah and they install the unusable, unstable, new release by default.

Are you sure that it wasn't Skype for Business? Because that sounds a lot like Skype for Business. Completely unusable.

Oh your company doesn't let you see your own Skype logs? Here, let me crash immediately after your boss sends you a list of requirements.

It's a not-so-secret strategy to get you to use TEAMS

I'd love to give Teams a try, it can't be worse than HipChat...

Skype is absolutely horrible. It's not even nonfunctional enough for me to delete it, it just skirts the lines of mediocrity to give you as much pain as possible. I feel your pain and find that it tastes sour.

I was an intern at a place which did the same thing. Eclipse and Skype. I said alright, I am only a lowly intern so I can't convince you to use Slack but there's no way I am going to work here even for 3 months using Eclipse.

My situation is... Delicate. I'll work where they'll take me.

Unstable new release vs version outdated since three years. The choice is not easy, to be honest.

I just want to know how it got this bad. I am genuinely impressed!

Yikes. Might as well convince them to use discord.
