Time to leave
As InstantlyForgettableNameCorp arises from the ashes of MegaCorpCH, it's moving its IT infrastructure to a new platform. I haven't been keeping abreast of the developments because I have no spare shits to give: what happens, happens. But one thing that pleases me greatly is that we are ditching Kronos, the user-unfriendly time management system that MegaCorpCH bought over a bloody good game of golf.
Of course, this move is not without the expected fuck-ups from HR, one of which being that this is a phased transition. My colleagues in the US, for example, are moving to the new platform before those of us here in Europe. But that's no problem, right?
Ummm, wrong, as it happens. I want to book paid leave over the late summer, and I have to submit it via Kronos. But my US-based line micromanager no longer has access to Kronos, so cannot approve any requests. And while I can access the new platform, I cannot submit anything through it.
I raised a support ticket with HR's mouth-breathers, but never received a reply. So I guess they're more clueless than I thought—which says a lot, really. None of it good.
