You must really be a hot shot to afford this attitude, or you are one of these passive aggressive types that express it in subtle ways that do not get you fired. Let me explain something from the employers perspective. If you expect people to spend hours trying to figure out something that is not obvious, that could reasonably be cleared up with a five minute conversation with the expert (you, presumably) then you are wasting my money. I am paying both of you. I expect you to cooperate. I do not accept a toxic communication environment. Minimizing communication may increase productivity, but massively raises the risk of producing the wrong thing.
- x86x87 3y agoLet me explain something to you: if every time you don't know something you start bitching about it and ask everyone around you until you wear them down to ELI5 you are dragging everyone down. This is not about that one instance where 5 minutes saves you days of struggling. This is about becoming and being self sufficient to the point you are an asset to the business, not your liability. In your convoluted example: how do you know who the expert is?
- unsupp0rted 3y agoI agree with all of this. With the caveat that "resolved with a 5-minute meeting" isn't "my inbox is full of garbage so I'm too overwhelmed to read your 4-sentence email answering my question, therefore I'm phoning you to reiterate the problem you already fully understand and have dealt with, just to remind myself of what was in my email to you, before asking you to read to me verbally what you wrote in your email." Hypothetically.
