Companies always dole out slop enterprise software their employees don’t use. Ours pays for g suite and ms products that serve identical uses just to keep up with the expectations that this is what enterprise software purchasing looks like. Am I to use both outlook and gmail simultaneously in order to not shirk the provided tooling?

I understand your point, but if your company paid for Gmail and you still used fax, I would understand their position of asking for a reason for that. After trying Claude Code for some weeks, I understand why a company would expect every engineer to try to use it if they are eating the cost.

Amen. Ours recently pushed a platform for comparing prices between the duopolies in our country to help us employees out with CoL. These duopolies are widely credited with contributing to the CoL problem. You just have to laugh.
