Microsoft recently issued a return-to-office mandate to its workers, pulling them back into the office at least three days a week. This makes sense on some levels; after all, companies have buildings for a reason, and they need to be used to look like a worthwhile investment. The problem, some point out, is that Microsoft has an entire product line<\/a> built around facilitating remote work. If Microsoft itself is abandoning remote work\u2014even just three days a week\u2014then it represents a major question to potential customers.<\/p>\n Basically, if even the chef will not eat his own cooking, then why in the world should anyone else? Microsoft, the report noted, has spent years pushing Teams\u2014along with SharePoint and the 365 ecosystem\u2014as excellent tools for remote work. But now, Microsoft seems to have abandoned its own remote work product line in favor of what Wildix CEO Steve Osler considered \u201c\u2026less about collaboration and more about old reflexes<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n A separate problem for Microsoft emerged as the Austrian Armed Forces decided to pull out of Microsoft Office altogether and switch over to LibreOffice, an open-source tool that offers somewhat similar features. The move will pull Microsoft Office out of around 16,000 total workstations, reports note.<\/p>\n The move is not universal; some exceptions will be granted, particularly in terms of Microsoft Access or Microsoft Office 2024 LTSC. LibreOffice is gaining ground as an open-source office suite, and the idea that there are potentially free replacements for Microsoft Office may be an especially concerning move.<\/p>\n Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on MSFT stock based on 33 Buys and one Hold assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below.

Microsoft\u2019s return-to-office (RTO) mandate is making some question whether Teams is worthwhile, and the Austrian military\u2019s pivot away from Office is hurting as well.
