I heard cravath used WordPerfect and lotus notes instead of MS Word and Outlook (respectively) until around 2017. Is this true?

Probably. Those heathens also make everyone put the period outside of the closing quotation mark.

Agree with SA1. It depends on what you’re quoting and whether it has a period. If not, putting the period inside the quotation mark is inaccurate.

Un, no. Cravath transitioned to Word from WordPerfect in 2003. I was there. It was a very big deal--all of the templates were migrated and the whole firm was trained on macros and styles.

The IT dept there did love LotusNotes and that continued post-2003. No intel on when that was phased out.

This isn’t a confession so much as a rant. I recently left my job (communication manager for a national franchise-corporate). The workplace was toxic and I was severely underpaid. During my time there I worked closely with the owner of a small (two employees) marketing agency. Essentially, I was poached by this vendor. I began work with them today and from the moment I walked in the door I was verbally abused, manipulated, and humiliated. *rest in comments*
