So we got them on a call, one of those ones where it says peoples name when they join and drop. So we had us (the auditors) the people from the company and IBM on the call. We start walking them through the finding, hear someone say 'are you loving kidding me, who loving-' "John Smith, IBM has left the call" lol

friday morning we had a conference call with one of our divisions. i clarified at the time that the list of URLs we'd want to use is in this here spreadsheet, and we want the stuff specifically from the QA3 tab. we're using QA3. not QA1. i followed this up with an email after the call to clarify: QA3. shortly ago i get an email. the division rep, who had been on the call and got that email, used a link and was getting errors. i asked if she could send the URL. it was QA1. so i clarified again, just to be sure: plz use QA3. QA1 isn't configured for this. we need to do all testing in QA3. she replies to say she sees a tab called QA3 in the spreadsheet, and asks if this is what she should be using. so what are the symptoms of a brain hemorrhage again? also unrelated, just got promoted. it comes with a title change, more money, and nothing else different at all. gg me.

From years of dealing with poo poo like this the solution is always: 1) Delete all tabs except the one you want them to use. 2) screenshot the information you want them to see 3) giant arrows My old boss once chided me for treating people like children. Then got 3 "gold stars" from the clients for providing them with clear, concise instructions. Also, don't get me started on the gold stars, the email awards you get which have no monetary value but serves as a corporate thank you.

Optimus_Rhyme posted:From years of dealing with poo poo like this the solution is always: totally agree! my limitation in this case is that i'm working from someone else's spreadsheet. what i had done was filter out to the relevant info, print that to a small PDF, sent that around (but with a link to the full spreadsheet for visibility, since they will eventually need QA1 etc) to keep them focused on the right poo poo someone just had her go around it to the master list.

me- Ok, so I guess my concern is the process side. We want to make sure if <group> is working on this they have all the details they need. vendor- well this one's much more complex and is probably better suited to an admin role, like Lynn than the casual editors you have in <group> me- Ah, ok. So we'll have to wait until she's back tomorrow so we can scope the workload for us. Other tech- right but she's pretty heavily loaded but she's already been working with <group>, maybe they can handle it. vendor- no, just to be clear, this is a much more detailed level of effort than <group> has been working on. it's really more at Lynn's speed. PM- ok so what i'm hearing is that we need to get this documented so that <group> can get to work on it. vendor- ... no. <explains again> 5 MINUTES LATER PM- ok, action items, we need to get the documentation for <group>....
