CTR office installs (e.g. everything not proplus/enterprise) have had a separate update stream/mechanism since office 2013. if you deploy them you need a totally different way to manage updates

In EXO-D, no one seemed to know what my new “Manager”, Cole, did besides make illegible graphs in Tableau and follow his manager, Daniel, around as if he shat Amazon stock. I’m not exaggerating at all when I say that uselessness was an ongoing joke throughout the org and for good reason. Cole had to hold his breath while he spoke for some reason and would start speaking like Twista when he was running low on air, which I hear can be a common theme among mouth breathers. He also had to close his eyes while he thought, and displayed his OOF messages on his door instead of Outlook. I could not believe that this person even worked for Microsoft, let alone that I had to report to him.

it reads like someone with some mental challenges who isn't getting the help he needs feels like he doesn't have anyone who listens to him, I read the whole thing and there's not a single mention of family or friends as a support system outside other co-workers, maybe it's because the content is so toxic he doesn't want to involve them but he doesn't seem like that would be a priority since he names pretty much everyone who wronged him at microsoft

I miss the mini microsoft blog, it was fun to read all the horror stories
