I was frustrated a lot yesterday. Below is just one example.
An urgent meeting was called because things weren't getting done.
B: We need to provide details and not make any assumptions.
Me: Here are the details that were provided. What assumptions?
B: We need to prioritize tasks and communicate.
Me: They are listed in order of prirority sorted by priority in the priority column.
B: How were the hours calculated?
1/2
Me: I provided it a few different ways but also right here in bold at the top of the spreadsheet.
Crowd: How do we know they can do the work in that amount of time?
Me: Because I trained them, had them do it on their own and timed them. Documented here.
THIS WAS JUST ONE EXAMPLE.
Did I have a "bad day"? 🤔
Today will be better!

Sounds like you maybe had a teaching (or re-teaching) day. Sounds repetitive and annoying! But I tell you, if you are trying to teach people things, and yes that includes grown-ups in corporate America, you will repeat yourself more than you ever thought possible! Bah. 💜 ☕ ☕ ☕ <<<extra coffee
@janallmac I feel like I'm just way ahead of everyone else.
Maybe this is just being old.

Nah, people never pay any attention or read the things they're supposed to read. 🙄 Or remember things that you tell them explicitly.
Never is a strong word. But I swear, it's more common than you'd think.
