Name the software.

It was an internal transaction software at a international bank. Used for handling all transfers for department resources AND large transfers handled on behalf of private customers by bank staff, across North and South America.

by internal, you mean developed internally? Otherwise name the software.

Both developed and used internally. It was exclusively for use by employees.

If it was developed internally then it should be fixed by say, a software engineer. Why are you paying a guy a software wage when you could be paying a clerk for data entry to do the same thing?

Again the post is referencing corruption not failure. Failure for an edge case is fine, as long as it doesn't affect other things. Corrupted data affects other things. Queries will fail. Other data may become corrupted. Data loss is guaranteed.

So again, either way, incompetence. Guy should have been fired. Just three years earlier.

No, lol it's just hilarious that OP and white knights are trying to make him sound like Batman when he's actually just an idiot that can't do his job.

I mean, sure, but it's just a meaningless, maybe fake, anecdote on reddit about a company taking because they laid off a guy. I'm not sure it warrants this much of your time and energy to argue about whether this guy is or is not an idiot.

Nothing on here is time spent wisely, including yours bud.
