Just as the title asks I’ve noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they’re reading.

They’ll read it and despite all the information being there, if it’s even slightly out of line from the most straightforward sentence structure, they act like it’s complete gibberish or indecipherable.

Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it’s making me lose my fucking mind.

    Man this pisses me off to no extent. I put in a lot of effort into my work. Craft very detailed emails with everything spelled out, clear as day. Only to find out time and time again no one is reading my emails because they’re too long, yet they have questions about certain aspects of the project… THAT WERE ANSWERED IN MY EMAIL.

      Sort of a paradox, isn’t it? The folks that want the information will complain about having to talk to someone despite being provided info, yet they won’t read for the information they’ve requested.

      Do they want the information, or do they want a baseless basis of complaint? The world may never know.

      Same here! I’ve been organizing g a union at my job, and my coworkers all value transparency and collectivism very highly, when when it comes to the actual work and effort of being collective…it falls short.

      I’d spent mo ths researching, writing down meeting minutes, making Q&A sheets…All to be asked the same questions OVER AND OVER AND OVER. It’s even worse when people are skeptical of the subject at hand, too. Sheesh
