Our love-hate relationship with PowerPoint

I currently work at a large telecommunications corporation. This is exactly the situation, PowerPoint all the things. It’s infuriating. I wonder is it the same place. Ring a Bell?

I recently had a colleague, who fancies himself the master hacker, ask me how to edit a file on ‘this Linux thing’. I went over to his desk and he was copying shell commands from a PowerPoint presentation into PuTTY running on a Windows VM on his Mac. The mind boggles.

I worked for \\\ - we were doing network support and deployment for the yellow cell carrier, I in particular worked on network gear made by a Korean company.

Surprisingly I'd love to work for a large telecom again, I enjoy the work, and surprisingly even the large corporate environment, plus, I'm in the PNW right now, and I'd like to relocate to 'not here' (Ideally DFW, but I'm not picky, just someplace warmer).
