I just want to know how every grown ass dude I work with can't do a blessed thing aside from pushing work around the plate. it's amazing.

me: "here's a list of proposed re-offers an the number in stock at the distributer."
dude 1: "let me email the warehouse to see what we have in stock."
me: "the distributer has them in stock in high numbers. do we need them in stock in our own warehouse?"
dude 1: "no, if the distributer has them, we're good to go."

dude 2, waiting several days to respond: "yes. dude 1, coordinate with dude 3 to find what stock exists with the distributer."

like. BRUH.

i just absolutely do not understand what makes these guys ADD SO MANY EXTRA STEPS to pretty basic tasks. that doesn't help you in any way. just do the damn thing, and it'll be done.

anyway. i could realistically do all of this myself, but i'm not management, so I need approvals. and rather than just looking at my list and going "yeah cool looks good,"

THIS SHIT happens... and it's very confusing.

is it, like, a deeply ingrained habit to try and put off tasks? is it the over-inflation of their own roles in the company? who fucking knows!

please i need a scientist to come and study these men. what is wrong with them? what is going on here?

we're like an incredible example of useless management. it's that great combo on genuinely frustrating and so ridiculous you have to be amused.

What you have here is a failure to communicate.

basically, haha.

there's also plenty of times where it seems like dudes don't wanna read emails and just bluster and give orders, and it's just so goofy.

just dudes being dudes.

Guys being dudes vine
