Mekko Graphics or ThinkCell? Why?

Do you find that your team members in India take more sick days than US? On my team in the US, we work from home if we get a cold but are generally still able to work. Being too sick to work happens to each of our US team maybe 1-3 times a year. My team in India takes 1-2 sick days per month. Are they actually too sick to work and that level of illness is more common? Or is there a cultural difference that you don't work if not feeling well?
Just saw a post from Fortune Magazkne that Gen Z is getting fired because they don’t have good communication skills (how to run a meeting, how to write a formal email etc.), don’t show initiative (ask questions, volunteer for projects) and don’t maintain professionalism (show up on time, miss deadlines etc.). Sounds like the boomers are getting grumpy, but as a millennial, this doesn’t surprise me. Curious if anyone thinks work culture will eventually adjust or if you’re seeing this.
Having used both, they both have pros and cons and it really depends on what you’re used to. Mekko has options that ThinkCell doesn’t (data rows for example), and allows more flexibility in layout (ability to move labels wherever you want). However, it feels “heavier” or slower, and people without Mekko Graphics can’t interact with those graphs at all. ThinkCell has the advantage of being probably more commonly used, and feels better integrated with Office. If you didn’t grow up with the Mekko functionality, it probably does 99% of what you want, and has its own “extras” (Gantt chart for example).
Well said. Think cell feels cleaner to me, but at the expense of flexibility. Let me place my own labels, dammit!
Mekko graphics because that’s all Bain uses and idk how to use ThinkCell
lol you will, we are kicking off the transition in 2023
