Outlook down

[chrismscotland]

Try working with LA. They’ll happily pop in a meeting at 6pm on a Friday without even thinking. Then make you feel like a work dodger for arguing against it.

Ouch! Most of my team are in Pennsylvania, Texas or Iowa so its not quite as bad, lot of meetings at 5/6PM but never really on a Friday!

I worked at a place where the CEO enforced a rule like that, only to then be the biggest culprit for putting in meetings on a Friday afternoon, and expecting the east Asian teams to still attend

Haha they're always the worst for it!

Son's just got outlook back...

 

[michty_me]

Looks like we are back up. Shame, I finish in 24 minutes.

 

[Grim5]

Outlook is back up for me

 

[randal]

Sadly mine appears to be working too.

I just received one email
But i wouldn't exactly say its working lol

I expect so many senior managers and leadership live in email they are all in crisis.

This is my boss. He openly states he can't do any work today because he can't get into his e-mail. His 'work' is to send e-mails, all day every day.

There's going to be a massive backlog.

The Outlook app on my work Mac is just dead since all of this this morning. Can't quit it, can't reopen it. Stuck. Oh well.

 

[chrismscotland]

Still can't get into Outlook Web

Mine is similar but it's more meetings. If meetings can't take place he has nothing to do as he can't just yap bs to people.

My outlook app won't even open on my work laptop.. oh noooo

News outlets are saying that the crash was caused by heavy internet traffic last night. It doesn't say what caused the heavy traffic though. Like when Michael Jackson died and the unfolding of 9/11, people flocked to the internet because it was a life-defining moment. Nothing of this sort happened last night though that would draw people to the internet.

We couldn't work at all today, 8 hrs twiddling my thumbs but now I can play WoW

No matter how much I loved WoW back in the day (2006), I didn't know it was still a thing in 2026.

Out of interest. What do you guys do where outlook being down prevents any work being done? Surely there are other programs/systems that you use?

NHS admin here and I've been working on Excel this morning. All working fine including our network drives and Edge browser logging onto supplier web sites and raising quotes, entry onto Excel etc. MS Teams chat + calls are also working fine. My colleagues however are the lucky ones as they were working on emails and haven't been able to do anything this morning. If run out of work, I'll carry out the 1 mandatory training module that I still have outstanding.

Co-Pilot is down for us at work. So people will have to use their brains now

Probably a combo of GTA 6 downloads and Russell Brand memes

 

[Martini1991]

Imagine GTA6 downloads killing Microsoft, imagine how bad it would be if the Xbox was currently a success

 

[OspreyO]

Mines back anyway.

 

[Raymond Lin]

I downloaded GTA6 last night!
