I have months of intense security compliance theater ahead of me and wish for a quick and painless death.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de we had one of those at the beginning of the pandemic, when everyone was sent home. It truly was painful. Now we are having another university to evaluate our processes, and procedures; not much security based, but still a pain.
@bender@twtxt.net Oh dear. 😭
One of the super frustrating things about this: I have to write lots of documents, but I am required to use horrendous software to do that. It cannot even number sections automatically, nor can you insert cross-references to other sections. Simple stuff like that. It all has to be done manually.
Even Word 97 could do shit like that …
@movq@www.uninformativ.de ay ay ay ay ay! Don’t envy a bit on that one. I assume the software you are forced to use is proprietary, and very specific?
@bender@twtxt.net It is very proprietary, yes. 😂😭
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh my god, that sounds just as awful. Yes, that really makes you want to quit. Such a waste of time and energy. It’s really dangerous for one’s mental health as well, burnout is lurking just around the corner.
No, it’s not IBM. 😅 I won’t say what it is. 🥴 I don’t think I had contact with any (contemporary) IBM software since around 2010. I love toying around with retro IBM stuff (cause that’s what I grew up with), but really no idea what they’re up to these days. Even the IBM building in our city is long gone.
