I just need to vent
I share a wall between offices with a new senior ops manager that is “revolutionizing” our manufacturing processes with technology.
**Excel.**
***He’s trying to make an ERP out of Excel.***
I suggested from the start that no matter how sure he is he can do it, that he is building himself into a World of Hurt™ and his vision ***may*** be possible if he’s the only one to use it ever. I offered him other methods, SQL database, Dataverse, even Access.
Nope.
> “Excel was build for this.”
It’s now 3+ months into this abomination, and they’re trying to implement it and it’s failing in all the ways I said it would. Dates entered “wrong.” Painful performance. Never ending spinners. Collaborative usage conflicts that can’t be auto fixed. On and on.
He’s scrambling. Getting defensive. Blaming lack of “real” database, etc.
I’m just collecting emails, chat logs, and even surveillance video of a convo caught in the hallway between us, about this very thing.
Fuck off, bus. I ain’t getting thrown under you by anyone.
Honestly, the signal is clear, the strategy less so which turns this into more of a debate
Bluntly speaking, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone Interested to see the follow-up.
this comes across more reactive than planned so the response doesn’t surprise me
From where I sit, this reads stronger on paper than in practice Curious how this plays out.
I get the idea, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified That’s the key detail here. This could age very differently in a week. At least from my perspective.
At this point, this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that tension shows up immediately At least from my perspective.
From the outside, this depends heavily on what happens next and that’s where the disagreement starts That part stands out. We’ll see how people react over time.
