We have this client who's ordering a HUGE amount of weekly data as well as monthly data. To make it somewhat manageable, we've broken the work across myself and my 3 CWs. Of course, one CW took it upon herself to put together the folders for this project and it's driving me crazy (it literally confuses me every time I have to dig through the files online).
Instead of something that makes sense like:
Product/Ongoing/Client Folder/Type 1/Original/Through Today's Date
Product/Ongoing/Client Folder/Type 1/Processed/Saturday Date
Product/Ongoing/Client Folder/Type 2/Original/Through Today's Date
Product/Ongoing/Client Folder/Type 2/Processed/Saturday Date
Nope... instead we've got it like this:
Product/Ongoing/Client Folder/Original/Type 1 or Type 2 or Through Today's Date
AND
Product/Ongoing/Client Folder/Processed/Saturday Date/Type 1
Product/Ongoing/Client Folder/Processed/Saturday Date/Type 2
That probably makes NO sense, but when you're talking each folder as laid out has 100 files in it, it's INSANE to dig through to find your one file!
Of course, if I suggest we change it, I get dirty looks.
Re: It's really difficult to bite your tongue sometimes!
I am glad you mentioned that this probably makes no sense...because that is exactly what I was thinking Paula, LOL.
But, either way I would be just as frustrated as you. It's sometimes hard to work as a team.
