Some non-wow "non minor" issues with ERP HR implementation




Implementation of ERP HR is worse than a migraine



To: Gloria, SVP HR
From: Hugh White, Diversity
Gloria,
How do I do data entry for Thiri, our employee with one name? 
If we don't find a way, we cannot pay him/her. YOU will find yourself in court. As a Canadian, you can be deported.

Gloria,
Speed up ERP HR implementation. Why are you dragging your feet, young lady? Just get it done.

Comrade Carl,

1)Does Anatoli spell his name with an I or a Y.
2) Is Jie a male or a female? Is this name with or without an E. I can see a Ji and Jie. Same person?
3) Is Scotland in Europe?
4) Is Yves a male? 
5) How do I enter the accents on some of the European names?
6) Is Claude a female?
7) How do I enter Ania from Warsaw into the data base; her last name has 48 letters? (You told me once that Warsaw is in Europe)
8) Maria from Spain has 8 last names. Which one do i use? She demands we use all names, and she is supported by that weirdo Hugh White from Diversity, (who appears to have the hots for Chairman Ed's new secretary.)

Gloria,

I have so many "fields" to fill out that I can only fire one person a day. Yesterday, I thought I had fired two people, but when I pressed "enter", they were promoted to VP, and each got a new Blackberry Q 30.

Ms Ramsbottom-Lemieux,
You are failing in ERP HR implementation. Do you want me to "lend you a helping hand"?

From: Gloria SVP HR
CC: all +directors

My Dear Winston Wu,

Thanks for your patience. A certain Ms Cynthia Axe and (heterosexual Diversity chief) Hugh White are a bit negligent. I will put them on corrective action.
All will be "even better" in 24 hours.
Gloria
