I’ve been trying to kill a weekly marketing report that takes me four hours to build because my tracking software proves that literally zero executives ever open the link. When I brought this data to my VP to suggest a monthly summary instead, he said, let’s keep doing it weekly just in case the CEO wants to look at it. How should I push back?

That’s so silly. If you already backed it up with data then I’m not sure what else you can do. Maybe say “if they don’t open it once in the next month, let’s switch to monthly”

That isn’t not the best manager. It seems crazy that she would want to waste your time like that.

Just use Claude to create it. Set it, forget it, send it over when finished. Don’t waste your time cause they want to.

Ar this point with our tech advances, I don't know how a software could make you take 3 hrs weekly to build a report. I would run your scenario through Claude or chatGPT and see if there is a way to streamline that.
