I just found out the biggest WTF about this job that I have. It tops the shit code, the relational database system with no relationships, the buggy network that doesn't have all the computers set up on the same domain (because they changed server names once or twice). No, the biggest WTF of them all is that there are no business processes at all. None. It's all in my boss's head, and he changes it on a whim in order to stay competitive. No documentation, and the percentage we add this week to our prices might be totally different than the one we add next month.
I had such high hopes when I was hired as "IT Manager" - to automate processes, improve the way we run things, and increase profit. And instead, most of my day consists of running Excel reports because he'll give me a list of 5,000 items and want to see their cost/number sold/etc so he can change the pricing on it. This is what most of my day consists of - I'm an "IT Manager" who pretty much just runs reports.
I was also supposed to get a raise after my 90-days, because they offered me a few thousand dollars less than what I was asking; of cours I havent' heard anything about it, only more talk of them wanting to "cut spending". And yet, for some odd reason I feel a little bad about putting my resume back online.
I guess I'm just stupid.
Well, IT people are really just glorified accountants - they just do math all day.
But the OP already... Oh, never mind.
