And then they will also use that information to help other companies poach your employees, at best. At worst, the data will be purchased for some sales team to identify and target your company to sign some wildly overpriced long term sales contract. They will know employee behavior and who the key prospects are in your organization. It has happened before. Even I was shocked how tens of thousands of companies handed…
Just a pet peeve, but please re-consider the casual use of the word "poach" when referring to companies hiring employees. It reduces a worker's agency to that of a farm animal or wild game, as if they were owned by their employer and "stolen" away by some other employer. I think we can all agree that we are not the property of our employers, so the word "poach" is pretty inappropriate and I'd argue moderately offensi…
I was deliberately and enthusiastically nodding with the "we are not the property of our employers" bit. Then you dropped the O-word and now, mostly because I'm curious to the point of disaster, I think I actually kind of need to see one argue that 'poach' is carte-blanche "offensive".

#54I fail to understand how a group of smart, well paid executives all got in a room, wrote down these ideas, and no one said this was dumb.

#58This doesn’t mean that I don’t integrate things, it’s just that I usually do so on my own terms. In my experience, 3rd parties are pretty bad at guessing exactly how I want two things to work together. I would rather see services remain open, with several options for tying them together, than have a monolith decide on exactly one way to do it that serves primarily their interests over mine.

Good reason to switch to LibreOffice, if you haven't already.
(My last Microsoft Office purchase was Word 97. LibreOffice is pretty good now, although the early years of SunOffice and OpenOffice were painful. I liked Windows 7, and I still have one machine running it, but everything else is Linux now.)
