For one, I see people show up at work at 10 AM, then leave at 2 PM. I see people who used to work in the office in 2019, never come to work anymore.

Definitely an "Off Topic" discussion!

Been awhile since I've been here....plus I'm old...LOL. Can someone please tell me what it means when an author describes his file as a raw file?
