What users have to say about the slow server at Microsoft

As Microsoft Outlook is primarily used for the right communication and has systems and processes designed for that communication, the management was facing difficulties assigning work to their employees properly, which kicked off a meme fest on social media about how people can relax in the absence of the communication services.
“Microsoft Outlook bringing it down to start my week is crazy! I thought it was just me,” wrote one user on Twitter.
