Especially when "It's not what you say, or how you say it."
Maybe that's why they have me working from home.
I do write a LOT of instructions on how to do things step by step even though most of the workers won't read instructions and want to be shown step by step how to do their jobs.
One guy that worked for me I had to show step by step what to do. He would doggedly follow those steps. However if anything happened that stopped the step by step progress, he would just stop and wait to be shown what to do next. I had to constantly check on him to make sure he hadn't stopped. I ended up editing all the Mac OS and application error messages to add the line, "Go Get Richard." So he would notify me when something messed up. It was funny about 5 years later his computer had been handed down to our receptionist. I had forgotten about editing the system error messages. She had locked up her computer with too many open applications and immediately called me all frantic because that's what the screen said to do.
