Bloody yanks loved all these different apps that half of them did the same thing. You would spend half your time thinking "Did I see that information on SharePoint or was it on Yammer or could it have been in an OutLook email or a Skype chat, maybe there's a OneDrive link somewhere, or miles down below in a Teams chat or the fucking dozens of Teams channels where there is more posts and files in each bloody channel"

It’s any multinational, corporate fuckers never have to live a day in their life using any of these systems, and don’t see the problem with 5 separate stand alone systems that can’t communicate with each other, crying that anything else would be too expensive.
So so so much time lost. When you have to send an email to someone in another state to run a stock report, or to generate an invoice, you know you are utterly fucked.
Same fuckers insist that all field techs must come to the office daily to clock on with the biometrics system. This was after a staff member at head office resigned, handed in their resignation but their immediate boss was made redundant that same day and nothing was actioned, and payroll kept paying the resignee for 2 years. Ooops.

I am a firm believer that we achieved "computational assistance parity" a few years ago, and we are now in a state of rapid decline!
