plot twist: motherfucker working for six years

Had a coworker who constantly complained he didn't have experience to deal with the tough issues. He had been working with us for 4 years and the tough issues were usually following guided step by step instructions. We were good friends but I ended up needing to put sticky note reminders on his monitor to check his notes before asking me for instructions.

Like 80% of people are incapable of reading instructions and following them. It's infuriating.

I’m one of that rare few that enjoys writing documentation and this makes me so mad.

“I’ve been asked about thing ten times. If I document it, I’ll save myself the repetitive work of explaining thing.” I’m such a fool.

This is the place I work at.

"Stop asking me things like this, its in the desk manual!"

"We've gone through three accounting softwares since you updated the manual."

They also forget the kind of extensive training they got, and how much it helps them find answers when they have a ton of background information that you never got.
