We have the Internet, which was supposed to fix things. Why can't we talk to the developers at workday and make that export issue an issue? How would we force it such that the renewal contract doesn't get signed unless it gets fixed?

I am not invested in this particular issue, but the recurring root cause: the organization is completely disconnected from actual users. No accountant would think 12k rows for a corporate level system was acceptable. How do you handle monthly, quarterly, annual reporting? A single POS terminal at Target could process 12 thousands transactions in a month.

Yet, the entire Workday chain of developers, PMs, management - all slapped their seal of approval on the product and pushed it out the door. Compiles? Good Enough.
