I despise Google Workspace

Moved to a company that uses google products and it’s beyond embarrassing the pathetic excuse of products google makes, especially workspace. Let me start with this- 1. Gmail- I could not figure out how to set up filters for my emails. Job involves dealing with countless emails, but low and behold, there really isn’t a straightforward way to organize your emails. Labels are a pathetic excuse for folders. I couldn’t even figure out how to add multiple rules with labels without googling. Gmail is made for end consumers and not users that may have to deal with hundred emails a day. Productivity immediately dived. I am limited to the fonts which they provide. Even adding a custom signature is a pain. 2. Google Sheets. What a sad excuse of a product. Simple example - I selected a column of dates, and clicked on ‘chart’. This thing is so stupid that it shows two dates on y column and a confusing array of options on the right. How do you f it up so bad? I then thought, maybe let’s do a pivot of columns and make it work. I click on pivot and lo behold, it suggests that I do a sum of zip codes. How can you be so dumb? Don’t suggest if you are not reasonably confident. 3. Slides or whatever it’s called. I cannot read something without being concerned that someone else is peeping. If it was office, I could just download it, and then hide the stupidity. Its a weird concept that everything needs to be social and connected with colleagues. 4. Docs - The only decent thing out of the whole lot and even here, I’m concerned that it’s too social. I don’t know who leads Google Workspace, but no wonder that the only way you lure users is by giving it away for free for educators and create a habit. I’d never ever stick with the google stack just because of how poorly designed it is. It pains my heart to say this, but even Mac office stack might be better than Googles.
