I've been working in corporate offices for at least a couple of decades now.
Aside from the massive incompetence and callous hate crimes against employees that I've witnessed time after time.......
These billion dollar companies REFUSE to update their technology. I'm talking about the software programs that are used to process information in accounts across the board.
I will give you two examples of what I mean.....
Mednax Medical Group
This company deals primarily in pediatrics. They have their own doctors, and provide billing, auditing, and other such services to doctors offices who don't have the staff for such things. This company is fucked to hell. I started there in 2017, and the programs they used were LITERALLY from the 80's and early 90's!! The only current programs they had for use were third party programs like Bank Of Americas payment processing program for businesses, and one GE Healthcare program that had not been updated since 2005.
The old programs were hard to use, because all the new programs other companies had, didn't not mesh at all with these old ones. We had SOOOOO MUCH paperwork because of this. Even the office tech was so old, the plastic housing on the machines we used was turning from old age yellow to dead sea scroll brown. Fuck, we even had FAX machines!!!
And people wonder WHY the healthcare industry is fucked up and SO expensive!!!! THIS is one of the top 3 reasons!!! Heinously outdated technology..........from LAST CENTURY!
And the most IGNORANT THING about the HUGE waste of paper on a daily basis was, EVERYTHING we did could be done on the computer without the need for paper!!! Even with thier 1980's technology!!! But they didn't want to "change" peoples work habits for the sake of saving several thousand dollars in printers, ink, and paper every month!!!
Toyota........yes, the auto maker!!
I work for a third party management company. Our client is Toyota USA. We use THEIR programs to process THEIR customers accounts.
So, you'd think a billion dollar a year company would have the most updated technology there is, right?
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG............OH HOW WRONG YOU ARE!!!!
Again, we are LITERALLY using programs from the 1980's!!! I mean, this shit is ANCIENT!! I'm talking black screen with block letters!!
The basic shit that we had when people started buying home computers way back when.
Yeah, one of the programs we use is up to date, but it's just a program for storing customer information, it doesn't do any actual performance work.
That's what the ANCIENT tech from the 80's is for! And just like Mednax "tech", it' doesn't mesh with any other programs, so we have to use tons of spreadsheets, Note docs, Word docs, etc..... Because the programs cannot interact with each other............this is what we do. We are the "go betweens" entering info from all the spreadsheets, documents, and the customer database into the fucking old shit system. It's a nightmare!
So, if you want to know why your Toyota bills, leases, and other account stuff is fucked to hell.........THIS is why! This BILLION dollar a year company CANNOT BE BOTHERED to buy some fucking UPDATED software for their company!! Which is one of the many reasons their POS cars are so fucking expensive. All the people that have to be hired to do the work of one good current tech piece of software!!!
Sure, it's a job, but we'd have this job anyway, even if they did stop being massive greedmongers and penny pinchers and buy some current tech programs. We'd still have to be the ones entering the information and making adjustments. Just not on the ludicrously dumbassed massive scale it is now.
So next time you find your information fucked up, screwed up, or even missing.........or stolen even...........THIS is why!
These companies have severely OLD, OLD, OOOOOLLLLLLLDDDDDDD technology! And thats how hackers can easily hack into their systems and steal your info.
