I've seen the same thing first hand with people in senior leadership roles at big companies.
Not a lot of upsides to whistleblow this stuff.
- It's just the same "How to succeed" PowerPoint preseo floating around after hundreds of logo changes. Rumours say a temp made it back in 2007 and that's why it's still 4:3.
  
  Way earlier than 2007. I saw one of those "how to succeed" PowerPoint presentations back in '98 as a "Junior IT Manager." I quickly realized why both of my coworkers in line ahead of me refused the promotion.
  Clippy can suffer the fate of a flammenwerfer.
  
  Does it have ricey WordArt?
  
  Spins onto screen and everything. Kid really knew their shit.
  
  Wow really just gonna bust out the bigoted language over a PowerPoint?
  E: y’all love defending casual bigotry! Wowzer
  
  Dunno what you're on about, but people need just a glimpse at your comment history for such examples. Wowzer.
  
  The only wowzer here is everyone being okay with bigotry.
  WOWZER
  
  The real wowzer is the fact that you automatically leapt to thinking someone is racist, instead of just assuming that they made a spelling mistake, or got autocorrected. They probably meant "dicey", but no, we'll just call them racist instead.
  
  I think they definitely meant ricey, which is absolutely a way to describe jpeg compression artifacting from really old images/files that have been moved around for far too long.
  Ricey: of or resembling rice
  
  Keep telling yourself it’s totally not bigoted 🤡
  Wowweezeeeeerrrrrrrr
  
  Yeah the Nazis probably meant “dews” I bet it was a spelling error.
  How in the fuck does “dicey” even make sense in context? Go on, defend the bigotry even harder!
  Fuckin weirdo bigot. Wowzerrr
