I’ve joined a new extremely disorganized team. My manager who plays the game in corporate well has somehow made it look like the problems are due to the new person, me. Their “resolution” to their disorganization has been to ask me to copy and paste fields from forms all day everyday from dates to tracking numbers, and then will call on me any moment of the day to share a specific data point. I’ve explained how unreasonable this even suggested we pull reports and automate but was told that’s too complicated and will take too long (they originally did this by hand). I’ve been told “these are the rules”.

I’ve now pulled the reports, automated the job, made some pivot tables and my 8 hour job is done in 10 minutes. I’m not saying anything. They think I’m slaving away organizing tracking numbers and dates scouring a data point for my master when called while I’m working on my second remote job. I just walk out of my office from time to time with my sad face while my boss smiles smugly.
