Anyone who’s ever worked adjacent to IT knows better than to expect people to read the instructions. Doesn’t matter how clear they are, how publicly they’re announced, how urgent they’re explained to be.

Don’t ever, ever, design a critical process that involves people reading and following instructions. It’s dead on arrival.

@tek
I'm happy if they read the whole (short) email or ticket reply.
@mikefordays And that’s asking an awful lot!

@tek @mikefordays

And still it makes me cry that people can't read a whole email...

@NexCarter @mikefordays I only got as far as "cry" then stopped reading. Was the rest important?
