I work at an architecture firm, about to become an intern architect. My firms organization system for some things is absolutely archaic.

For example, contact info for consultants is saved in a word document. No organization to this word document whatsoever. New consultant, add it to the word doc. No excel sheet, no custom software, a word document.

But of course when I bring this up, I'm the bad guy

That's crazy, if you don't mind me asking, how much revenue does ur company bring in and which state is it generally based?

There is zero reason an electrical engineering student doing research would need to know that.

I am asking because using a word doc is kinda crazy with the technology out nowadays. no need to get so antagonistic lol. I asked revenue because I wonder how early on the company is if that is their choice of management

It’s difficult every day, ever since someone (cough cough a boomer) clicked a phishing link and it fucked up all our servers and share point connectivity. Nah, I’m not bitter

Every day. I'm currently flipping through projects to find a rated door jamb/head detail.
