We found out that one of our co workers created tables of formulas in excel, then input a table in Word to manually type in and transfer over the table data. And of course the same formulas needed to be run through a desk calculator once more in case excel got that wrong the first time. Jaw dropping (when that person was shown about this magical copy/ paste feature, it was their jaw that dropped lol)

I'm traumatised from reading this.

One of the few moments I remember so clearly where it truly felt like time had stopped. Rest of the dept just froze, as I'm sure they were running through all of this person's work and designated accounts in their heads just as I was. They ended up leaving shortly after, and guess who had to clean up all that fun stuff. The manually-input nightmare 😭
