F...Resistance to Change

[724Skinsfan]

When I first arrived here at work 5 years, we had a project log that was sitting in a binder on a desk at the front of building. Whenever we would start a project for a customer we had to assign a job number. The process for getting the job number was getting up and going to the log and writing in a bunch of information.

I asked why don't we just create an Excel spreadsheet that auto assigns a job number for anyone who needs one. The spreadsheet can be placed on the company's website so it can be accessed from your pc. My boss looked at me like I had proposed we come up with a new operating system to combat Microsoft. She told me "that's the way it's always been done and no one complained before. "
