Job Title Doesn’t Include Reading Titles
(I am fairly new to the company. I am assigned to help the chief engineer update some safety documentation for existing and new equipment.)
Engineer: “[My Name], why have you changed all the details in the early part of this document you’ve sent me? That’s still relevant!”
Me: “That’s the document for [new equipment], not [old equipment].”
Engineer: “How was I supposed to know that?”
Me: “It’s in the filename of the document.”
Engineer: “Oh, you can’t expect me to read that.”
Me: “…and the title page of the document.”
Engineer: “…hmm.”
Me: “…and the e-mail you opened the file from.”
Engineer: *incoherent muttering*
