My company has already made this crystal clear by switching to MS Teams.

Every morning we begin stand-up with a ritual, our whole team simultaneously muttering something arcane whilst manipulating the inner workings of Teams, hoping to appease the MS gods.

Shortly after the ritual is complete you hear a cacophony of "fucking teams wouldn't find my headset/camera", and the day begins.

Your team should have a strict policy to not do ANY work at all each day until the stand-up is complete, and not to do the stand-up until Teams is working correctly for every team member, no matter how long this takes.

If only I could, I could use some time off...
