The organisation I'm currently working for is trying to move everything to the MS ecosystem. It's all being decided by executives who have no business reason to do so, it just seems like a 'good idea'. I'm not exaggerating. They really are that stupid and they're prepared to throw a lot of money away doing it. They're like sacrificial goats that lie on their back with

There are even talking about using Microsoft's analytics, you know, big data lakes, Spark running over clusters, the fucking works.

No common sense, no ability to listen. Fuck it.
Edit: meanwhile the plebs on the ground are suffering from a lack of knowledge and even basic software tools. It's like top management are trying to compete with Liz Truss for who can do the worst possible job.
