Consultation is important!
Feb. 15th, 2021 09:22 pm A pox on IT people who design things without consulting the ACTUAL USERS. A plague on all their houses!
ARGH.
The new system installation is going... not well. The fiberoptic cable is faulty, so two workstations can't be installed until Tuesday. We only have two printers instead of three because one is backordered. One printer isn't showing up on the network. The other printer keeps getting uninstalled every time people log off their computers. The distribution lists and Outlook address books are still MIA. The scanners aren't configured because it was assumed we wouldn't need them. That's not even counting all the "security improvements" that are actively making our lives harder because they are incompatible with our other systems, or slow down our process to little more than a crawl.
*beats head on desk*
Combine that with employee drama, and I am glad today is over. People at work are tired and frustrated and overworked and emotions are running high these days, especially with the employees who are all being medically accommodated working days. And since they're working days (thus all together), they tend to clash directly with each other. My father said it sounds like I'm running a circus these days, and he's not entirely wrong.
I am looking forward to my bed. :)
