Send out a yearly report to a department. Only has 5 columns.  A total and 4 break downs of the total. 

"my total number is 2x they were last year" ( we average about the same each year.. slight variations but under 5% )

He added all 5 columns..  a senior manager who has been here for a decade.

New 'suggestion box' form we just ran across today out on our internal portal page. ( i thought it had been turned off years ago..  )

"You can remain anonymous, however the recipient will have your name and email with your submission"

Um, that isn't how it works..

"I dont like this, when did this new policy go into effect, so and so still can do x why cant my other new person" "well, that was missed, thanks for letting us know so we can remove those rights tomorrow" 

lol

So it looks like in our SINGLE org ( equivalent to a department in the real world ), we now have 10 ways to track our time.  

and 5 or 6 source control systems. bla bla. Im being asked to move to Azure Devops, "ill pass. No thanks. You have your MS crap if you like, but i wont. My latest version is in a file share, you want it in your garbage, you can write a script to grab it. "

and more than one way tot rack incidents ( even tho its been mandated everyone use my system.  " oh, we dont use that" )

What a cluterF

wtf.

Sad thing is i run what was mandated to be the repository for work to be submitted, tracked, reported on, as well as the working knowledge repository, linked back to work being done.

Since nearly everyone flat out refused, management actually let them put links to their info in my KB module..    really?  how about step up and be a manager instead? Even to the point now   "we want you to make us a on-boarding form, which then emails us the details and closes the ticket immediately "  wtf.

I'm glad my time is about up.  i'm so over it. 

And i had forgot about smart sheet...  add that to our list too.

Teams, wiki, sharepoint, gitlab, Project Insight, SmartSheet ... no wonder no one can find anything.

I know, its just not in my nature...
