My colleagues and I joke around that SAP stands for Sadness and Pain.

[-] twei@feddit.de 8 points 11 months ago

As you may know SAP is a German company and the name originally was an acronym for SanduhrAnzeigeProgramm, which translates to "hourglass displaying program" - a nod to when busy software would change the mouse cursor into an hour glass - since it was initially conceived as a hardware stress test software - expanding to employee stress tests was just the logical next step.

Things got weird when scammers found a new hustle charging hundreds of dollars per hour pretending it was an ERP solution or similarly outrageous ideas that non-technical people in all kinds of business fell for.
