In general, how would YOU deal with someone who refuses to read simple instructions, instead preferring to keep calling you and asking you to just do their work for them?
This is in a work/business setting, so I cant just tell the person to GFYS.
Its not some sort of a joke or a troll post. I'm absolutely serious. I'm curious how someone who is not "soft" or "shy" like me would handle such a situation.
If I tell the person to just go read the damn instruction, they will complain to my boss and I will be in trouble, because the boss would rather appease the person in question any way she can as opposed to taking my side, even though I really am not supposed to do this person job for them. It is their job and responsibility to read instructions and train themselves to preform a certain simple task.
It's not that he/she cannot do it. Its that they simply don't want to. Its just much easer to call me and keep asking me to do everything instead.
I'm sure such situations arise pretty often for other folks and Id like to know how others handle such things.
