    The amount of stuff that runs on excel or feeds info directly into it is terrifying

    I think the joke is twofold. First of all, Microsoft pretty much has a monopoly on financial software with their excel, which shows that the entire global finances are in the hands of that crab.

    The second joke, must be that they never bother updating the suite to the latest, and solely depend on 2013🤷

    I'm guessing it's saying Excel is the basis of almost all financial documentation?

    Not just financial documentation, but everything. Planning staff levels, work assignments, quarterly reports, bonus calculations, pto administration, and more. There's likely people retiring that wrote an excel macro 20 years ago that still part of a critical business process.

    For so much financial logic. Anywhere that a non-technical person is sat in front of a computer and given data you will find Excel.

    It is amazing what knots they will tie in it to avoid learning an actully useful tool.
