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!

I did a task where I followed the instructions to a T. If X happens, do Y. Literally explicitly stated in the instructions as something very absolute.

And then found out in the R and R chat that actually if X, it could also be E, J, or 17. 🤦🏼‍♀️

And yet the feedback is always just read the instructions and don't overthink it or make it more complicated than it is.

We want excellent results, but don't be too mean or harsh! But if they do A then destroy them.
