They have a lot of fancy software and subscriptions but for some reason, nobody knows how to use a lot of the fancy tools they pay good money for.

At the end of the year, the department head took all the credit for this. Fast forward a year, he just told my wife in her final days there, “You had it good here. You probably didn't even know how to turn on your computer when we found you. Hahahaha”

Man, people are stupid.
