If you could rid the world...

Multitasking on the job. I've always hated the idea that it saves money to have one person juggle tasks when short staffed. The giant corporations who pull this shit, don't understand that there is a hidden cost to doing this. If you frustrate the shit out of your employee, they give up and quit faster. That means you spend more money long term training new people. High turnover rates hurt profits more than the big guys want to face.

Agree.  Keeping focus on the task at hand is more efficient than whatever multitasking is supposed to mean.

After a career of multitasking, it's nice to mostly be able to do one task at a time then move on to the next.  I can still switch gears when I need to, luckily I don't have to very often.  

It makes bookkeeping a lot easier since I am not pulled away and then have to remember where I left of.  

My biggest "hate" in working in an office environment is gone now.  The only phone call I get is from the boss and that happens sometimes once a month.  So much nicer than having to stop every few minutes to work through a call from a vendor, an employee, or anyone who wasn't sure who to talk with but knew that the accounting department was probably there to take a call.
