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.

I've used outlook for 90% of my office jobs, it's not a difficult software to use, and there's very little to master in it, especially compared to things like Excel or even Word. Why would it become a requirement for a job???

Maybe if you're like an EA and you're managing some executive dumbass' calendar and emails for them. Even then, it's not that complicated.
