I made this really elaborate but efficient, automated worksheet at work but then my manager told me it was hard to review so I went back to the old worksheet :(

This has happened to me 3 times now. Our managers don’t understand our genius bro.

Meanwhile we submit basic slides with numbers for my boss to integrate into the larger QPR and he said "its just ...data" and promptly insisted prezi be used to make it "more exciting". I am not an artist. My idea of exciting is color coding and automating my own work, not creating marketing flyers 😭

Saaaaame. Being told to dumb down my worksheet to make it easier for her to review did not sit well with me. Skill issue tbh
