All those things you can do to give grief to the people who think the numbers are not made up on the spot. Negative numbers, more than 24 hours in a day
In a former job, they'd got SAP installed. It didn't allow any of those shenanigans.
In fact, it didn't allow much. You worked 7.5 hours a day (which had to be put in as 7,5 - someone hadn't done the internationalisation) - no more, no less. A half-day holiday had to be 3,75 hours - no more, no less. The actual correlation to hours work was somewhat ephemeral.
We had many layers of management there. The bloke at the top only ever seemed to interact with anyone else in the organisation in one way - to complain that timesheets hadn't been completed...
That company is still in existence. But it is circling the drain. Can't think why...
