There has to be something wrong with our sharepoint, right? I find it hard to believe the slowness of our programs is just normal in other firms. It has gotten to the point where every action taken freezes excel for 5 minutes

Close out all your Microsoft apps. Then open up just the deck / excel you're working in. If it's still slow and it's PPT, try porting it to a new file. If it's a big Excel model, it just may be too large to work in SharePoint.

Completely agree it's frustrating, just sharing solutions that have worked for me.

May be user error here. I have never had an issue with Sharepoint as the files are downloaded to your computer if you do it right (and then changes are synced back to the server). Your model may be way too big for Excel. The analysis may be better off using something like Alteryx.

Are you in Europe or the US? Europe IT does some really bad things to lock down those computers and it causes all types of issues. Unfortunately those policies are slowly going global and they
are making our computers worse in the US because of it.

Also when was the last time you rebooted your computer? As they say in the IT Crowd show "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" haha

I want to ask for a 20%raise, knowing that the company is planning the year budget around now should I give my manager a heads up as to what I’m expecting before my salary review? I got a 0.6% raise at the start of 2020 and a 4% in April this year. The raise this year came with the title of “Lead” and more work responsibilities, talking with a co-worker we now make about the same amount. I started working here right out of college (10 years).

Currently working as a process engineer in switzerland (south east). Salarys and Rent are Medium High. Current salary around 80k. Trying to switch to sales (same company). Had a talk with the teamleader. He talked about the job and told me that they were actually looking for a junior sales (and some product management responsibilities ). That they are looking for a junior isn't to bad, because i have no experience in sales (customer contact yes, but no sales) What salary can i expect?
