I have a feeling Brenda brought this up a few times too. And was ignored.

Did Brenda leave in March, or was March when the leadership team decide that AI could “increase shareholder value” by making Brenda “redundant”?

Sounds like Brenda deserved a raise a long time ago.

I imagine Brenda’s spreadsheet that calculates prices to be uploaded into the quote system is failing as well.

welcome to modern business. if everything is running, "we dont have the capitol to mitigate that". if something fails, " why didn't we mitigate for this error". repeat ad nauseum

Hello, I'm Brenda. I asked for the patch, and even handed over a business proposal about it, but there wasn't the budget. Shoulda listened to me. Byeee!

This happens ALL THE FUCKING TIME. I left a very VERY large UK Bank, a major UK bank household / high street name. I got a call 3yrs later asking me how a macro worked because they had removed the supporting documents, and the office 365 upgrade had made the maco no longer work. HUGE Delays in internal payments and reconciliations. 3yrs!!!!!!!

A manager once asked me "What do you even do around here?" before walking off laughing. I put in PTO for an entire month the next day (Union strong baby). When I returned, the manager begged me to never leave for that long ever again.

My script stopped working 13 months after I left that did all stock control as the credit card used to pay for the barcode VBA script was cancelled. They went back to writing in books. A company with “technology” in the name.

we cannot upgrade to 'new' outlook because Sage 50 cannot speak to it!

Why is tech top management so out of sync when their purpose is synergy and breaking silos 😂

I have been working in IT for 25 years and this is still frighteningly relevant. AI and automation cannot fix this itself. You cannot design your way out of bad process and bad decision making.

I'm Brenda. I taught myself how to write VBA script to handle all of the workload they kept handing me. to automate it all because it was the same thing over and over everyday and Microsoft access was the only scripting option I had open to me. when I left, all of that workload stopped. and found out later they hired nine people to replace me to keep the lights on.
