I've worked with some pretty rotten software, but management software is easily the most user unfriendly, so my vote goes to HPSM.

SAP, closely followed by IBM/Lotus/(I have no idea which random company they were sold to) Notes

You don't like 18 different codes to find one piece of information? But why?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And the codes are completely illogical. "Run an 18TZ transaction" the fuck is that?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

100 percent. "Remember what this code does". How?! I have to make a note that it does what it does.

I got to meet one of the IBM guys who claimed to be a project manager for Lotus Notes. I asked him what it felt like knowing that he has a hand in a tool that has unleashed more human misery than the atomic bomb.

Now that I am proud of myself for doing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

He just looked at me offended and confused for a bit and I walked away.
