Started at a new position at my company and noticed lack of organization and processes.
I've gotten pushback on a few things that simply don't make sense to me.
1. Refuse to document, or documentation is in a flat file SVN directory with minimal organization. When I offer to sort/organize into a wiki page I'm told that it's a waste of time.
2. No ticket system, entire department uses email-all, when mentioning ticket system, I'm told that is a bad idea because it could lead to "tracking of tasks."
3. The idiom of "We've always done it this way" is something that is a day to day response.
I'm not the guy who comes in and wants to change everything, but I'm here to improve myself and the company.
Is this a culture thing? What do you do when you find yourself in this situation.
- zzzcpan 8y agoOrganizing documentation won't make people document things. Ticket systems don't necessarily make anything better either. "We've always done it this way" just means your ideas are not convincing enough for them. It's hard to find good arguments for organizational changes though. Maybe start with the smallest changes that you can convince other people of. Let them see that your changes make things better for them, earn some trust.
