RTFQ
RTFQ - I sometimes finding myself wanting to type this out in response to notes I receive from people asking questions that were obviously and thoroughly covered in my original email, but rather than RTFQ, they just need to read the fucking email - AND the attachments - before making me waste time by repeating myself. And by “repeating myself” I mean FWDing my original email back to your lazy self with the note “please read to the bottom.”
In other work-related wankery, please can someone explain to me what the purpose of the following interaction was?
Email from me to owner of data: I have added the following information to the attached form. Please verify that these are correct and let me know before COB tomorrow.
Email from owner of data to me and so-and-so: Please send that form to so-and-so to have them check it over.
Note…he could have just FWD my note, with attachment, to so-and-so and CC’d me. Instead, he takes the time to send a note to ask me to send a note. I just replied all and attached my original email with the attachment inside. This kind of stuff really makes my head spin…
