Teams isn’t great compared to Slack for async text chats, however the video conferencing is actually quite good and I didn’t have any real issues moving from Zoom to it.
It’s slowly starting to become usable, though. After several years, you can now actually use the search function.
That’s plenty of time to dust off the resume and start pounding the pavement! Very generous of Microsoft to give so much notice! Edit: for those who may think I’m overreacting to a small change in tooling, I offer this classic essay [1]. It explains the reasoning behind leaving much better than I could!

Changing jobs over video conferencing software would be extreme.
uh.. i dont see the problem? They are only using it for video conferencing. day to day collab still on slack...
Its like forced conversion. It only benefits MSFT. Teams get to claim github as a customer, and MSFT saves some money. This might be small, but usually this opens the door to a whole suite of software being shoved down github's work/tech stack.
Video-conferencing wise, I always have more problems with slack than with zoom/teams.

> They are only using it for video conferencing. day to day collab still on slack... If they're already using Slack, Slack has video conferencing and they are trying to reduce costs, why not centralize everything in Slack or Teams?
"for the sole purpose of video conferencing". They're still using slack for day-to-day...
Step 1 towards, "we will be using Teams for day-to-day collaboration".

collaborating with anyone at ms already meant you were using teams to some extent.

I'd expect at some point they'll push them the rest of the way onto Teams, to reduce that redundancy. Which will be even worse, because Teams is so incredibly bad.
No surprise here, but I wish almost anyone else purchased github instead of Microsoft. One can hope the founders will eventually pull a "MySQL" --> "mariadb" :) I wonder when github developers will be forced to moved from Linux to Windows ?
