>What I want to know: did they have to fill in their time reports in 8+ systems, one worse than the other?
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.
