5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

I've worked with some pretty rotten software, but management software is easily the most user unfriendly, so my vote goes to HPSM.

SAP, closely followed by IBM/Lotus/(I have no idea which random company they were sold to) Notes

I fucking hate this corporate bullshit software

You don't like 18 different codes to find one piece of information? But why?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

And the codes are completely illogical. "Run an 18TZ transaction" the fuck is that?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

100 percent. "Remember what this code does". How?! I have to make a note that it does what it does.

I got to meet one of the IBM guys who claimed to be a project manager for Lotus Notes. I asked him what it felt like knowing that he has a hand in a tool that has unleashed more human misery than the atomic bomb.

Now that I am proud of myself for doing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

He just looked at me offended and confused for a bit and I walked away.
