Envoy, specifically, a startup that manages physical workplace access (ie. "Empower employees to reserve a desk in the workplace"), all with redundant storage of potentially sensitive employee information, like names, phone numbers, ID documents, legal agreements, physical access badge data and photos, etc.

This business shouldn’t have a need to exist at all!

At home I have a separate office, set up how I like/most productive. It just works and a nice productive environment. No having to *book*/find a desk, no broken monitors, cables, hubs or chairs. No being told to move as you found a comfy spot with working equipment and get in to the office consistently early to use that spot for multiple consecutive days.

But they’re SOC 2! /s
