I’m familiar with a multibillion dollar international corporation that uses an excel spreadsheet to communicate between divisions.
Not email or slack or teams or the telephone. An excel spreadsheet.
The left column is where one division enters a message, and the right column is where the other division responds. For a new message, you start a new row. The file lives on a network drive.
But… why?
Because that's the way they've done it since 1987, and the CEO doesn't like change.
@radix @gregorum I can just FEEL how super useful that was many many years ago. How utterly brilliant everyone felt when they got it working. How depressed they must feel to know it's still going.
