As an engineer who documents things compulsively and spends a large amount of time ensuring my documentation is clear, nothing pisses me off more than when people refuse to read documentation. I am hired to perform technical tasks, not to read documents I already wrote for others. It’s like people are illiterate or unwilling to spend any amount of time parsing data to find what is needed.
I’m so, so sorry. There should be buffer peeps that understand both sides at least a bit. What works in CAD doesn’t always work in the shop, what the shop wants isn’t always something that meets reqs. I’ve seen both fuck shit horribly.
If you ask for an intermediate you get a manager favorite that isn’t useful. Corps are inherently inefficient. It’s a shitty life.
Yeah that’s exactly how I feel about it as well. Concrete spec is the classic one, you write a spec saying what you want and ALWAYS get a TQ back saying “hey can we use this completely different type of concrete from the supplier?”. Complete waste of time.

How close do you work with your users?
Very. I’m on the floor with them every day.
