TheBlackVegetable posted:10 years ago the developer was probably making the choice of a quick solution that would probably be fine, or taking longer to do it right and risk getting put on blast by some rear end in a top hat middle manager for taking too long Instead there are plenty of standard SAP objects that are examples of using a standard routine that does the conversion for you so instead of hacking in a whole new piece of poo poo doing formatting you just include (or copy and paste the contents if you're really dumb but that's a different problem with upgrade compatibility) the standard method and let it deal with formatting based on essential user settings. Tldr you have to do more work to get a worse result and the developer needs coached about how to display technical variables in user preferred formats.

What about in Netsuite? It’s unthinkable to me that an employee can’t be assigned to a location, so all sales orders, currency numbers, and inventory fulfillment are from that location by default, but the higher ups are telling me it isn’t possible. I never know if I should be angry at the makers of Netsuite or just whoever is in charge of it at our company. Probably both.

The hospital I was at got bought by another group that used Cerner so the writing was on the wall. I was taking care of my parents at the time or else I would have gotten that sweet consultant money

Welp. Guess I'm now officially responsible for getting our stalled-until-now-by-apathy-and-politics ISO certification process off the ground after we failed the first audit on all parameters. It started out with "Can you spare a couple of hours a week to lend a hand with this?" and all of a sudden I'm now The Person. Yes, there is already considerable bickering among departments as to who gets to own various standards, policies, and guidelines that give them more say over the area covered by said certification. No, there isn't a process overview we can start from because of unclear mandates and office politice, which is part of why we failed. And yes, 75% of my bonus KPIs are now magically directly linked to us passing the audit by 31 December. Why do you ask?

About 6 years ago I interviewed for a contracting gig where they were looking for a project lead. The interviewers straight up told me the project was already doomed and I just had to be there to take the blame when they fail to meet the hard deadline in 6 months.  They didn't offer enough for me to be a scapegoat.

I got accidentally scapegoated but I had such a good relationship with the customer that I ended up getting a sideways promotion, lol. I interned for the customer in college and the contract focal I work with was my landlady, lol.

Simply get a job about implementing software people have not started using yet and you can mold each and every user to use the software exactly like you (or quit or retire in a fit of rage).

I can’t tell if I’m just suffering from the standard imposter syndrome or if I’m about to finally get Peter Principle’d into an absolute nightmare scenario because people assume that the reason I come across as confident and capable is because I am in fact confident and capable, and not just because I’m very practical and don’t publicly lose my mind when things are going sideways. My boss’ boss wants me to take on a very large and significant ‘future of the department relies on this and if we botch it we’re all probably fired not long afterwards’ project because they believe I’m more than capable of delivering it and I haven’t got a loving clue where to even begin. It’s me, I’m the dumb poo poo my work does.

Milk it as much as you can then use your inflated title/position to jump ship before it crashes and burns. You've now stumbled on to the executive fast track.

Is there anyone in the company capable of delivering the project? Take the position and delegate all tasks to the capable person so you can 'focus on project delivery'. Take credit for success. Jump ship prior to failure and recommend capable person as successor.

I worked two full time jobs up until last week. The less demanding, lower-paid remote job lost some high volume item at walmart and started firing people. So I lost my family's health insurance, which was dogshit but the company paid half. They offered for me to work hourly (I am the compliance department and they will rack up chargebacks insanely quickly without me) so I guess I'm just going to bill 20 hours a week no matter what? Anything less is not worth having any of the weight of testing/audit schedules to keep in the back of my mind. Sucks I will be doing the same amount of work for half the pay and have to find new insurance 1/3rd of the way through the year.
