Wearing clothing for an eternity? 😥
I know someone whose job was to print out a PDF, highlight a set field on the PDF with a highlighter (say, SSN or sometning) then scan it back in and shred the PDF. All. Day. Long. Surely pushing a boulder up a hill is better than that
Stuff like this exists because someone doesn’t understand the technology. It’s infuriating, and I have had to deal with similar situations.
I had a job where I needed to interact with a PDF doc that came out every month. The person doing it would print out all 50 pages, someone would sign the last page and she would scan the whole doc back in. So now instead of a useful PDF, we just had 50 pages of pictures.
How long ago was that? I’m an Automation Software Engineer and I feel like I could automate that in an afternoon. Stuff like that grinds my gears.
They couldn’t just… highlight it in software?
That sounds like too much technology.
No, the pdf was also just a picture of a document and transparency hadn’t yet been invented
Sissyphean with 30 extra steps 😭
Not the TPS reports!
I have eight different bosses.
Yeah, did you get the memo about the new covers? Yeah… If you could use the new covers for the TPS reports, that would be great…
At least I’d be ripped pushing boulders uphill all day.
