AIBU to ask if someone can translate this word salad into English?

Oh and making the guy resign seems a bit overkill. What happened to the woman?

its pretty obvious. Have you never used a workflow management software at work?

Managing rosters and workforce when you have a large number is not something that is easy as a manual task. So you have software that helps you do it.

As for the adulterer who likes Coldplay, if he has to resign, good.

The software the company develops provides the technology to manage workflow. It's not that difficult to work out.

Also it's not overkill to oust the CEO. He's brought a lot of negative publicity to the company with major investors threatening to pull out. They needed to act decisively to protect their brand. I wouldn't mind betting the woman will get her marching orders too, give them time.

CHATGPT is your friend.

Nope

Spreadsheets and flow charts?

Dont know

If you don’t work in an area that needs the software you won’t understand what it’s for but if you do then it isn’t a word salad at all

as for him resigning- he had little choice - he is the leader and has lost respect and potentially broken some rules (don’t know what rules are on recruiting someone you are potentially having an affair with/want to have an affair with or on relationships between staff)

I've never used it, is that somehow unusual?

I think the OP was just trying to deride something they doesn't understand by calling it word salad

yeah

Sounds like utter bollocks to me

Workflow just refers to a business process; ordering stock for a shop is a process, for example. A workflow management tool could be set up to own the process and automate some steps, starting with say Mon/ Tues/ Weds 4am = workflow system assesses needs. To do that it might need to bring together current sales data and stock data from finance, plus the large data part comes from assessing current stock against all the sales in previous years on that date (data warehouse), recent sales (finance), promotion items (from a central system)... and creating the draft order based on the rules it's been programmed with. It might then ask for a person to approve or edit it, or maybe call in some AI input, or just send the full order off as a webhook and store a copy on the warehouse system to check off when the new stock arrives.

It's been fairly common technology for the last 20-25 years, but we all only know about the things we come across in life. I'm sure some of the other posters commenting would know nothing about your areas of expertise OP.

It'd probably make sense if you've worked in an office environment, particularly in a team where different people have different roles on the same matter/file/project.

No. Why are you assuming every job would use that?

Pretty much all jobs do in some capacity even if you don't realise it

Mine doesn’t. But if it’s easy to not realise it’s used, then there’s no need for @roclalalflg to be so patronising, is there.

I think it’s fairer to say all businesses will use some form of workflow management but not every role in that business will be aware of it or use it

Why would you think every job would involve using that? I’m a dental hygienist and never have. Is this the assumption again that most jobs are office based?

I don't think it's fair to say all businesses use workflow management. Mine certainly doesn't. Most processes can be carried out multiple ways and in different orders depending on all sorts of ever changing factors.

Me too!!!

All businesses will have some form of workflow management - but not all will use software.

workflow management can be as basic as prioritising the order you deal with emails

When did I say I assume that? The words implementation, management, and software are clear. I dont use pressure washers at work but I dont think they're world salad

The software the company develops provides the technology to manage workflow. It's not that difficult to work out.

The problem is that I don't understand that either 😂

Needless to say, I do not work in an area that has to have technology to manage workflow, and I'm not entirely sure what "workflow" actually is.

It's the assumption that people can read and comprehend. There are things that exist that I do not use, yet I understand them

Yes, this if a fair way of putting it.

In a simpler example it's like how 95% of websites use CSS files to style font/ colours/ spacing and use the code type javascript on them somewhere to help users do stuff on the page. The average user doeen't know, and doesn't need to know, that the bit of code updating their content in real time is called javascript. It makes no difference to their lives. Likewise, just because a dental practice has workflow embedded to manage appointments, a dentist doesn't need to know nor care. The same dentist knows what a periodontal probe is, how to use one, what the depths ought to be and what causes an issue... but it doesn't matter that the IT expert in the chair has no idea, they just need to keep their mouth open and not wiggle about too much.
