Can confirm. I hate doing things twice, or in some job aspects 50 times.

We had a software and the next step in workflow was outputting the various files to the departments, often same file but multiple output formats.

My coworkers would run the translations manually, set the parameters manually each time, and sit and watch/wait.

I'd be at the coffee machine or chatting to a coworker.

The president stops by "do we need to get you more work, because you are never at your desk"

Me, "My computer is running multiple file translations, it should be done in 20 minutes"

Him: "Oh, OK, maybe we can get these other people setup like that."

You can tell this story is bullshit because the manager was changed their mind.

:) Wasn't my manager, my manager at the time hated improvements. It was president of company, so he overruled my manager.
