I was talking to this guy about his job once and he said things were going great, and he had just got a raise. He told me his secret… He read the documentation. There was a huge manual at work that covered what needed to be done (rules, regulations, and such) and he said he was the only one who actually read it.
I remember this even 20 some years later, because I’ve spent the last 30 years of my career writing documentation that I’m always convinced no one reads except me.
