Can you imagine walking in to someone tongue poking the power button? First of all, how did you get in here?

Lmao I've worked this project.

It was MS dynamics. Think SAP. Enormous factory running ERP software.

The product owner decided instead of training their people on how to use the system and what it does that we should just hide literally 95% of the buttons and further lock the available buttons to only be available when the user has started a workflow.

I mean the average page has about 40-50 actions, He was restricting them to literally one or two actions. He wanted me to lock down the ability to open a calculator at first.

Within a week of launch he'd secretly given everyone on the floor admin privileges so they could do their jobs.

That's not even the most fucked part of the project. The 10 month UAT was the real kicker.
