Basically, Microsoft Places and Teams have received workplace check-ins via Wi-Fi. The idea is that if an employee arrives at the office and connects to their enterprise network, their profile status indicator will show them as being present in the office.

Joke's on you. My work is so stingy, they don't offer WiFi to employees. Also, I've blocked location permissions in Teams, just in case.

God damn I hate this universe, why is technology a tool to create new shackles instead of breaking old ones
