That's sobering reading.

One of the difficult tasks was to schedule a meeting room in a scheduling application, using information contained in several email messages.

    To be fair, most people in the workforce were never trained on the likes of Microsoft Teams. Learning this for most people takes a little bit of fucking around and taking notes of certain buttons while you were doing things the way you are used to.

    I know most people don't seem to have the ability to look through menus and identify the thing closest to what they want to do. I think software might be more difficult to use now, too - the trend for "clean" design means that usability and discoverability goes out the window.
