There was a time where my company decided to implement time sheets after a consultant said it is a nice thing to do.

I wrote some code that generated random data in the right format and people begged for it so I shared it.

Plenty of people started to create random reports, their bosses didn't give a fuck because they were pissed of as well (and wanted to use my tool as well).

The company ended up with a heap of nonsense data and I guess that someone realized that because this circus was gone after a few months.

That was in one of the largest and best known US company in the 00's, no wonder it went from a national pride to a peripheral company.
