The company blamed “a series of mistakes” and inconsistent font rendering.

Seems like it was a mistake from a staff member but if you want to go scorched earth on an entire company for the actions of whoever made that email then go ahead and buy licenses you don't own from the competition.

This is pretty bad but having read the apology and explanation it was either one or two people who made this email or one of two people using AI assistance that made the email.

Seeing as how they apologized and acknowledged the mistake and mentioned being understaffed on a banking holiday I'm not going to hold the actions of one or two against the entire company who said they were against that action.

Also, Polish people famously hate Nazi's as anyone should so I'm really just not buying in to the whole ragebait on this to be honest.

Had they not apologized for the actions of that employee I would have boycotted.
