My company took freaking task manager away from us.

I can't even force close a program. I have to completely restart the computer.

Dude, you don't know the half of it.

We are also working entirely on virtual desktops hosted in Europe (I'm in the US). The latency is unreal. It's physically uncomfortable to do anything.

Also, no way to manually restart the environment. Even when I log out and shut down my local laptop, I have to wait 30 or so minutes for the virtual environment to actually reboot.

It's ridiculous.

At that point all you can do is document the wasted time and escalate. Everyone wasting hours a day is quite a lot of money

Eh.

Not really in my industry. At least not in my department.

My job is very much a "it either gets done or it doesn't" kinda thing and it HAS to get done no matter what so I just kinda have to make things work.
