A report by Gizmodo quotes staff calling the new tool frustrating to use, with one staffer reportedly describing it as 'absolute sh*t'. The episode highlights tensions between the EU's political goals of reducing reliance on US tech and the practical workplace experience of employees forced onto less polished software.
