Org Confessions.  elements.cloud/confessions   2 Confessions for this week.  

The first showing how hard it is to be an Admin when you want to do it right.  The 2nd shows how some people can get it so, so wrong.

Confession #255

We acquired a company that also had salesforce. Their admin left immediately after the acquisition so now I’m managing both orgs and working on merging them. Because both teams can’t decide on what to call fields and it ends in an argument, we have duplicate fields for each team. I do not feel empowered to make decisions in this instance so I’m creating a mess for the next person. I did however create a generic admin user so no one will ever know it was me creating this mess. I’m actively looking for another job.

Confession #238

800 fields on the Lead object to capture multiple people, deals, campaigns & no records on any other object.   Editors note: I think we are missing the genius here. Only one page layout to maintain. Only one report. Security and profiles are simple. Lightning migration is a walk in the park.
