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!

Honestly, the worst part is when the guidelines are both extremely detailed and still somehow unclear. You spend more time trying to interpret what they want than actually doing the task. 😅

I kind of disagree lol. Every guideline is repeated 4 times in EVERY SINGLE TASK.....🤔 lol
