After starting I saw some huge inefficiencies, and decided to write a program proposal for an analytics and tracking program to increase efficiency and decrease turnover. (more efficient company = better for the utility = better for the customer, right?)
I ended up with a few meetings with company leadership, and things seemed to be progressing until they accused me of causing a data breach when I gathered my non-identifiable test dataset.
After threats from corporate counsel to sue/prosecute and a secure wipe of my hard drive, they backed off.
I'm still there, just trying not to notice the inefficiencies for us and the utility. Really kind of broke a part of me.
