The company I work for pays horrors for the full MS suite. That alone should be enough to force some thinking.
But I digress.
I'm not a desk jokey but I have to fill a sheet daily and occasionally a few other documents. I only use LibreOffice.
When I first received the models, they were filled with errors and bad formatting. And printing the sheet always put out shrunk versions of the document, hard to read. I got printed copies along with the digital files, "in case I couldn't open the files".
My spreadsheet jailbroke the document, allowing me to rectify the errors and the prints come out using the entire sheet, with better end results than the official version.
Someone, very well paid, is wasting a lot of money.
What's most interesting and baffling to me is that most people think libreoffice "breaks" things. But so far, every time I looked into it, libreoffice "breaking something" usually flows like this:
Every. Single. Fucking time.
I got to a point where I tell them to wank off if they ask me to do something and I don't have easy access to Windows.
"implementing things in non-standard ways", have been their modus operandi for about 3 decades now
Agreed, except I'd argue 4. I feel like it started with DOS
