Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

They were hemming and hawing over the morality of it to me and I was like "I feel like the psychic effects of working there would destroy you, no?" They have actually read some theory and I think consider themselves a leftist. Very funny stuff. Anyway, they didn't get the job for non-political reasons (insufficient microsoft outlook experience presumably). Sorry to use hexbear for gossip, my 'apolitical' friends wouldn't understand why this is funny and my leftist friends would think less of me.

insufficient microsoft outlook experience

I don't think I've ever used outlook, but it's software to send emails how complex can it really be lol?

oh you sweet summer child

outlook isn't just an email client. It's also a calendar, a contacts list, a web browser, and so much more. You can set up automation, have "groups", make polls, all sorts of things. especially when it's paired with Exchange, you will never use 90% of it's features.

Cloud this, cloud that... back in my day we coded COBOL, by hand, in the snow, and we liked it finkelstein-lambaste

Still, I don't feel it's a particularly complex software, even if you went down the deep end.
