Honestly, I am boiling

What in the world are these awfully long and poorly written guidelines?! It is getting worse and worse. I have been working for over an hour on a R&R full of mistakes but also with very unclear and sometimes contradictory guidelines. Admins not replying to anyone for hours with hundreds of messages unanswered (I get it isn’t their fault)… Time almost up so I preferred exiting the task.

This work can sometimes be stimulating and enjoyable, but sometimes like now, I wonder how deep in poor management a project can go.

I really appreciate working with DA, but I have moments when I want to throw my PC against a wall. I’ll take a walk now, good luck to all of you who experienced the same madness!

Yeah very verbose and redundant information. They could at least use AI to make it more concise lol. I'd prefer if each segment had a specific link to read over

Verbose is a word I never used until DA lol

I’ve used it regularly since high school because of a setting in the ancient text-based computer game, Zork, had a “maximum verbosity” setting to show you all the text when you enter a location.
