When companies don't want their employees to work remotely and force them to come to the office because they think it's more profitable, it's not like they give a shit what the employees think.

It's been years since I've really tried to exercise Excel (and haven't used it--or Libre Office--in a long time). Pivot tables, a number of the other data-related functions... Just a bunch of things I'm not going to spend a couple of days digging into. Google Workspace works fine for my needs.
