- dylan604 1y agoIt is shocking how many people fail at this. If you were the employee and did not have enough information to perform the task, speak up. You are not going to get in trouble or whatever other type of situation one might imagine for not asking.
- valicord 1y agoWhat is the point of assigning something to a new hire, if they can't do it without another person watching the whole thing over their shoulder AND they are unlikely to benefit from this knowledge in the future (since it's a legacy page that is supposed to be deleted)?
- dylan604 1y agoAnytime a website is created, the information/text to used in the site is provided to the devs. You provide the same data to the QA team to ensure the Dev team did their job. How are we seriously this obtuse? Is it deliberate?

- jeffbee 1y agoI often assign things to new hires because I expect them to approach the question without the biases of long-time team members who have learned to overlook and normalize some bullshit. Either the new person is wrong, and I explain why, and they learned something, or they're right and the existing stuff can't be defended or justified, and I learned something.
