What’s one thing in your work that feels like a big waste of time, money, or just plain inefficient?

Hey there, I hope you are all doing alright. I am currently a university student hoping to start a podcast project that’s all about real-world problems in different jobs, trades, and businesses.

I’d love to hear from folks in this community about:

  • What’s an annoying problems, costs, etc in your line of work that you wish you didn’t have to deal with?
  • Are there any tools or tech you tried that just didn’t work for your job?
  • What tools or tech really work for you?

I’m hoping to feature real stories and frustrations.

Thanks in advance for sharing and feel free to rant. Your input might inspire something useful for others in the same field

    Writing grants and asking for money to do research instead of actually doing research

    Spending time on reading papers when you can spend 10x as much for doing experiments others did decades ago. /S
