One of my $previousjob's managed to invent their own kind-of sort-of double entry accounting system, but not quite. So whenever anything went sideways (and we interacted with Stripe, so something always went sideways), it required a lot of manual intervention with changing of amounts in various tables.

I pushed for offsetting entries instead, but was overruled. It was a _nightmare_.

Thankfully, it is not $previousjob.
