A long time ago some teammates (prior to my joining the company) had been assigned to work on some VA related health system, turned out they were 8 levels sub contractors, i.e. sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-contractors. Project never shipped.
- aneutron 5y agoIt still boggles my mind how ANYONE would sign off on a setup like this. How does no one see that this will fail without a single doubt.
- jazzyjackson 5y agobecause no one has a view of the whole system.
- moogly 5y agoWhat I want to know: did they have to fill in their time reports in 8+ systems, one worse than the other? When I was a subcontractor, the most I had to do was 3 (customer and 2 consultancies), and even that was a major hassle.

OMG, I do not miss filling out three fucking timesheets as a salaried employee. One via MS Access, which was believe it or not, the least painful. One on fucking paper, because why shouldn't programmers use paper for timesheets? And last, but definitely not least one via PHONE. Where you have to enter your employee number and hours via a fucking PHONE KEYPAD. Oh, and they would nag a company of 250,000 to do it early so that the accounting team of like 5 could go home on time on Friday. One of the many reasons I don't miss that job.
