Microsoft Exchange Makes My Life Worse With Every Interaction

WTF is wrong with corporate America that they perpetuate the existence of Microsoft Exchange?
I know, they are married ot the calendar. But I've used the calendar, and it just so happens that virtually no manager I've worked with knows how to use the calendar features correctly. The next time your manager sends you a meeting notice senda reply to the meeting notice. There's easily a 90% chance they won't have read your reply, or even know that there was a reply to read.
This is another indication that it's over for American business. Our resources and talent are controlled by people who need to be bailed out by the federal government to the tune of more than a trillion dollars while these self-same individuals complain about "government handouts" to every one else.
Citi has been bailed out no less than 4 times by the federal government. How does anyone in management at Citi, up to and including the members of its board, still have a job? They should be completely unemployable based solely upon their results. But instead we heap reward upon reward on them.
If you really believe it was a good idea to bail out the banks, GM. et al, in order to save the dollar from being devalued then you have no right to call yourself a capitalist. And you are no doubt part of the problem of which the widespread use of Microsoft Exchange is only a symptom. But for me, a symptom that causes a great deal of pain on a daily basis.
