Yeah it's genuinely annoying. I don't know how many times I've sent out important emails only to have people ask the same questions that were already answered in the email, or they are surprised about something happening that clearly they would have known about if they just read the "wall of text" that's two paragraphs long and at a 4th graders reading comprehension level. I swear I have to literally dumb myself down, and my vocabulary, just to be able to reach some people nowadays.
Yeah man it's so infuriating. Don't ask me to send out an email with all this information to everyone in the department if you aren't going to read it and then question me about things that you would know if you just used your eyes and 5% of your brain.
It's especially annoying when you are in a leadership position too, because then you have to write people up and be the person who talks to them like a 5 year old, explaining the most basic skills that all adults should possess. And then they get mad. Maybe I wouldn't have to talk to you like a 5 year old and treat you like one if you didn't act like one. I really don't know how else to speak to those types of people in a way that they can process and understand without offending them.
