How dare I polish and remove kludges from previous releases. ๐
Also, none of those kludges would have even been necessary if the project scope was properly defined from the start and the project manager didn't let the users keep trickling in new requirements without also extending the deadline.
So yeah, how dare I go back and implement something the way it should have been done the first time?
Some people don't have time to learn new workflows at their job. Their workload is maxed out with the workflow they currently have and while their boss may understand they need time to learn a new workflow, the bean counters up the chain won't. Maybe their replacements will get trained on the changes you made but the current ones are fucked.
