Have you considered how you might feel about IT in other contexts? For example, in an academic environment, in a library, at a small nonprofit, etc. I ask because my job (data analysis and technical writing office work) varies drastically across types of businesses and I find that I prefer working around academics.

I don’t know but I’ve noticed a price difference in the US too. I am usually actively avoiding the gels because they’re not vegetarian so it doesn’t bother me but it’s weird since it’s the same vitamin content like you mentioned.

My coworkers and I have to remap the network drives to our office wide file systems 2-3 times a day to access the files. This is the main file storage(some teams have moved some stuff to google drive but that doesn’t work for sensitive info).
