    Typically, the cause is a need for attention and sympathy from doctors, nurses, and other professionals.

    Basically, data siloing in Excel is a cyclical problem of management either not paying attention to, or not wanting to spend money on, how their departments are using technology.

    They don't pay attention to it, so they don't give their teams centralized tools, which makes it harder for teams to see what other teams are doing, which leads to dropped communication, data entry errors, and duplicated work.

    "But nobody wants to pay for centralized tools." Well, yeah. Duh. But you end up paying more with Excel silos. You pay it in non-IT labor time, but you also pay for it in IT time because eventually you're going to grow to a point where Excel silos are unworkable and now it's just going to be that much harder to clean up that data.

    "But nobody wants a bespoke Access database that only one neckbeardy IT guy knows how to support." Also true. Which is why for the vast majority of common business operations, there's some off-the-shelf software package, industry-specific software package, or some software-as-a-service that will do the gist of whatever those Excel spreadsheets are doing.

    I know this was a joke post, but srsly check these guys out.

    they make keen wallets that are slim.

    Also, install apps that convert your gift cards and loyalty cards into scannable barcodes on your phone, and get rid of all those pieces of shit from your wallet.

    MBAs do not seem to teach skills like managing data flows within the organization

    Right. And techie guys with no management chops aren't generally very good at identifying process inefficiencies.

    The best IT managers are the ones who can go back to the humans and say, "Hey, this way you're doing things is a bottleneck. Here's how we can make it flow better."

    This is totally not me patting myself on the back or anything.

    @‌feral

    i would say it is a cyclical problem of management not wanting to pay attention to junior management who are nominally in charge of how their departments are using technology

    and when they do care, they don't issue more refined instructions; they outsource and get a consultant, who would be immune to whatever petty office politics that have shaped the work assignment created by the spontaneous Excel-enforced workflow.

    If there's a manager who has to dig for mission-critical data in inconsistent ever-changing spreadsheets, and then gets publicly blamed for the resulting errors, the workflow stays that way because that manager is at the bottom of the office hierarchy, possibly for petty reasons like "senior manager's wife hates her". Whether or not it's harder to clean up that data, the assignment of the tedium is how office politics expresses itself.

    in much the same way nobody ever got fired for picking IBM, it's much harder for noxious internal politics to dispute the validity of an IBM consultant's recommendations for amending information flow, even when those amendments would give powerful people more work and weak people less work

    Wait do people actually care about college GPA anywhere in a job interview? Its the kind of thing I'd internally laugh at if brought up repeatedly in an interview

    I never put it on my resume yet it came up in every interview I did. Most of the time I was chided afterwards for not putting it on my resume since it was "a big deal" to them and could have hurt my chances had it not come up in the interview.

    They cant get this without transcripts right? Are they actually going to do this? If I am a grown ass man looking for a non entry level position, I'm really not sure how I am going to answer that question when I have ~8 years experience. I doubt I could tell them what my degree was for at that point.

    I leave it blank whenever I have to fill out one of those things. You gotta draw a line somewhere. No one will ever look or care or anything.
    Lot of employers have asked for my transcripts after hiring me.

    You're kidding right?

    I've never heard of that happening to anyone ever! Are you doing some sort of sciencing or something wherein people care?
