Or maybe the guys in the company doing the gpo's need to update their certification so they learn this shit....

Just guessing, I'm a Linux guy in a Linux company. Maybe the way I worded the comment was disingenuous, but when Microsoft is so unethical I am using the "to quoque" logical fallacy to justify it

I was once one of those Microsoft guys with 2000 certs, and I'm not gonna lie, I liked working with MS stuff.

It's usually inane, stupid and expensive shit on the one hand. But they were wasting company time and company money. I also worked in the banking sector, so it's not like we would have been making the world a better place if it was more efficient.

Certs gamified the whole work environment. The whole thing is that they are not that hard to get if you get into it, it's kind of a game. However, they cost a fuckton to get and maintain, but if you are in a good place, that's on the company as well. Actually, the company is paying to make you more valuable to it, so that's nice.

And since everything is so fucking inefficient, other departments will be moving at a sloth's pace as well, so if you are half-decent at automation, and you can get a WFH job, most of your workday is basically playing video games.

Yeah I think at this point it's really just on the company - why are you still using such an untrustworthy piece of software?

I'm not familiar with to quoque. How is that pronounced. Kuocue? Cock?

I miss spelled it it's tu not to

Pronounced too-kwoh-kwe

It's a word I can only remember having read, but I checked YouTube, and that's what the thumbnail said (didn't see the video, my kids are sleeping)
