Work out what you're doing to make people prefer to lie to you and tell you they've understood when they clearly haven't?
If you're having the same communication problem with multiple people, then I'm afraid that's you not them.
- bacro 5y agoUnfortunately, it is not only me that has these problems. But I agree that I am not the best teacher in the world. However, I do believe that they are not trying very much and keep calling me or stopping the team with meetings for small problems. I get it when you are new to the company, but for god's sakes when you have 2 years+ and you still keep asking trivial questions, there is some other problem here.
- marcus_holmes 5y agoWe keep telling people "there are no stupid questions - please ask before assuming anything" then get annoyed when they do exactly that ;) Though I do get the frustration. I had similar with one of my juniors, and it took me ages to work out that his learning style didn't match with my teaching style. I ended up having to go right back to basics and walk him through everything painstakingly slowly.
- bacro 5y agoI know :D But, I am only get annoyed when the questions are recurring. I think there should be more effort from the developer to learn by himself if he does not get it from us explaining 100 times, then.
