My expense reports and timesheets.
The three shittiest parts of my job every week are:
- Approving timesheets
- Entering in my timesheets
- Entering in my expense reports
I've written a script that goes in using a phantom.js script, and automates the submission of my timesheet on Friday afternoon at 3:00 +/- 15minutes. It now takes into account travel time, Holidays, and approving time if I have time approvals due.
Same holds true for submitting expense reports in Oracle. I upload the receipt to Expensify, and as long as it's tagged properly in Expensify, it'll automatically generate the correct expense report in Oracle for the proper project based on the receipts in Expensify. This saves me, on average, about 6 hours a month.

- ryandrake 9y agoAs incredible as it sounds, it seems to be common. 2 out of my last 3 (tech, software) jobs featured mandatory timesheet reporting for salaried employees. One of them even had a fingerprint scanner at each door you were required to use so that you didn't "cheat".
- flukus 9y agoTime sheets are important to businesses for reasons I neither know or care about, the problem is that they're obviously a management responsibility but management always delegates it to every employee. I don't have a clue what is and isn't capitilizable and I don't want to know, I just want to do my work with the minimum paper work possible.
