Post #5- Computers in the Workplace

 

I work for one of the sister companies at Cencora. Cencora is a giant pharmaceutical organization that you can search on the fortune 100 and they have four or more subsidiaries that they oversee. This company was founded in 2001, which would make it around the same time as the dotcom boom. Almost all jobs involve some computer use in 2024 and it will only increase in use. Just like our text book describes running out of Ipv4 addresses after 4.3 billion. I do not go a day without using their technologies. I punch in on their company-provided phone through Workday, sign onto the Geotab app for electronic logging since I am a cdl driver. The main app I utilize for recoveries at airlines and pharma companies is called Dash. This app is constantly asking me to update it using the in-tune app. Not to mention, I have to take pictures of invoices, house way bills, airline paperwork, and physical boxes themselves. I could not imagine a day without the use of technology in this place. The volume is just too high to be using paper for every single task.

It is absolutely essential to have computer literacy in the job. Training through multiple partner sites are required as well. Master control and Holman are the apps or sites for the periodic trainings. Also, when requesting pto, we have to use Workday to submit hours for boss approval. Emails are sent very 90 days to change our passwords for our security and management alerts us of any phishing emails and to report them as soon as they are flagged. There is some cyber security involved.
