I currently work on a team being lead by a senior coworker with a title equivalent to tech lead in Agile, however I do not report to him. About 3-4 months ago he switched the process from exporting files from our teams repository to directly exporting them from the company software because "the repository did not always have the most up to date files". At the time I was not familiar enough with the software to realize the problems this caused.
Today the company software was down so I exported the files from the old repository (which is still being kept up to date). I realized that the files there are far more up to date than the ones in the system, eg. version 1 and 2 vs version 6 and 7. I have been doing all the work to update files from early system versions to the current one redoing hundreds of changes that are easily accessible when I only needed to add a couple. I finished 4 tickets today when I had been averaging less than 3 a week.
How can I explain to my manager what has happened here? She thinks that I have been working extremely hard on this project and gave me a gift card for it not long ago. This is further complicated by the fact that she has told other coworkers that he saved the project.
I've lurked enough on this forum to know that you guys likely would recommend polishing the resume after a disaster like this, however I am starting a new position at the same company early next month. I have wasted hundreds of hours of time redoing already completed work and I feel terrible.
