I wish my employer would do this!  Fire one of the other accountants and give me their workload.  Then split their salary with me, the company saves 35K plus fringe benefits i.e health insurance, 401k match, payroll taxes, etc.  Then I get a 35k+ raise and a full workload!!!  I could be a glorified bookkeepr making 100K+.  What a sweet deal for me and my employer!!!

Some pretty selfish things to say right there.

Absolutely selfish! But in this economic environment we must work
smarter not harder. And as we all know the back of the pack gets eaten
first. Welcome to the rat race!

I work with a lot of folks that have to use excel everyday and they can
barely write a lookup formula. I look at it this way that is like a carpenter
barely knowing how to use a saw! And FYI I have been out of school for
10 years now! Age is no longer an excuse to not know how to efficiently
use a computer!

Companys should be slashing the fat and running super lean accounting
departments! My company should cut half the staff and give the
remaining staff a 40% to 50% raise. Get the productivity rate to 100% I
say!

tb7025, just curiosity: why would anyone write a lookup formula? Isn't easier just to use the data filter for all columns and select criteria from there?  

Ha-ha, the funniest thing is when you offer people to give books or to actually show how some programs work to make their lives easier, nobody wants to learn anything. :-) For example, we use the MS Access to analyze data at work. Some people manage to survive on Excel somehow, spending hours on analysis that should normally take 15 minutes.

I agree that the companies should cut some staff. However, the larger a company is the more difficult it seems to have any idea who does what.

Everything you said lelik is sooooo true.  You say the words pivot table or access and they look at you like you have two heads.  These tools save me soooo much time and make my work sooo easy!!!!
