Microsoft Teams forces reuse of stale work identity across unrelated meetings

A user between jobs is forced by Microsoft Teams to sign in with an old employer's account ID to join unrelated personal or external meetings, since Teams offers no clean way to log out or switch identity, and browser-based joining redirects back to the desktop app. Reflects a structural identity-management gap affecting anyone using Teams across multiple organizational contexts.
