What software you consider so bad it made you happy when you left your job? (lemmy.world)

I've worked with some pretty rotten software, but management software is easily the most user unfriendly, so my vote goes to HPSM.

Yeah, fucking Business Objects was the bane of my existence. The worst situations were where the creator of the report used their shitty GUI joins instead of actually writing a SQL load script. It made troubleshooting that much more annoying.

Their GUI is so bad. You had to have lookup tables printed out with various codes to find anything instead of, you know, being able to search for them.

I've used a lot of software in my life and this one is by far the worst.
