What software you consider so bad it made you happy when you left your job?

I've worked with some pretty rotten software, but management software is easily the most user unfriendly, so my vote goes to HPSM.

Lotus Notes. I called it Bogus Notes. I do not miss it.

My first programming job out of college was in Lotus Notes. I spent most of my time trying to trick it into doing what I wanted, it was a constant cat-and-mouse game. Kinda fun if it wasn’t so miserable. Had to gtfo after a couple years.

My previous job finally got off of lotus notes in 2019.

My first text job was at a fortune 500 that used Lotus Notes. I think they transitioned off in 2014 or 2015.

What a weird software. They had some whole processes that happened in Notes that were like mini applications and databases.

You gotta respect those early adopters, the trendsetters, the pioneers.

I left a job when the previous notes admin left and they tried to get me to run that hot garbage with no training and no bump in pay.
