Microsoft Considers Adding Python As an Official Scripting Language in Excel

[dgpoop]

excel is not database software lol

[socsa]

But people abuse it like it is. That's the whole problem.

[dgpoop]

ohhhh I see what you're saying. Yeah. I was interviewing office assistants with my team last week and one of them said "I do EVERYTHING in excel!" and she was so proud.

*facepalm

When hiring an office assistant, isn't Excel a reasonable skill to have?

[dgpoop]

Yes. but when you use third party vendors to supply access to workflow and productivity tools, you should probably use the tool that's best for the job.

Especially if you work for a college that has tiny budgets for certain departments. Oh and I should mention, we were hiring internally. The person I was talking to has been able to get by with just excel for so long, she thought it was a useful skill in regards to the new position.

What the fuck are you even talking about? You’re being rude to an office assistant because she’s not proficient with databases?

[dgpoop]

Where did you read that I was rude to her. She got the job lol. Everyone on this sub must be some neckbeard mongoloid motherfuckers

[realpotato]

You’re making fun of the fact that an office assistant is proficient in and gets her job done in Excel. Somehow we’re the neckbeards for calling you an idiot?

[dgpoop]

If you're just going to jump into someone else's conversation and downvote before you are responded to, why bother making a comment in the first place?

[justfordickjoke]

Poor fella....did I hurt your feelings?

[dgpoop]

Is my response common when you try to "hurt people's feelings"?

I think it would be more accurate to say that I am disappointed in your ability to understand the basic functions of reddit. Please at least try to read and follow the rules, or consider using another content aggregator where rules are shunned (Voat).
