While it may be arrogant, it is reality. The reality is that business
documents are often in word format, and if they send you a document to
edit in word format, they expect it back in the same format. I suppose it
is arrogant, but then again companies have been arrogant for many
years. They still have the gall to tell you what is acceptable to wear and
expect you to schedule your life arround them.
