MDs with bad handwriting
For the MDs who don't make PDF comments and prefer to just scan their scribbled penmanship on papers - learn how to writeI get so pissed when trying to read comments that look like a fucking second grader shat on my beautiful works of art. What the hell do your words mean? It's one thing trying to interpret vague asks. It's another trying to interpret hieroglyphics.Almost feels like it's done on purpose. Like they laughingly scribble stupid shit.Just wow.Spend more time trying to figure out what they're saying than doing the actual comments.Real ball buster
Mans really said hieroglyphics haha
For real. It’s fucking awful sometimes
worse is trying to decipher it with a pussy associate and pussy VP who are too scared to ask the managing director to clarify what the fuck they wrote
Haha. As an intern, I was trying to read comments to turn, and there was one word I couldn't get. Neither could the analyst and neither could the associate. Nobody wanted to ask the MD (he was also kind of a dick), so we just guessed and hoped for the best.
Lmaoooo thank god i am not the only who has to play hangman everytime i have to make edits
This advice completly goes out the window if your MD is a douche, but every single one I have worked with so far (many with horrific write-ups done sloppily on an Ipad) has been okay with just emailing them compiling the various aspects of confusion and asking them to clarify.
Agreed though, this doesn't seem to a problem in top tier law or consulting which highlights just how ludicrious IB is with regards to working practices / inefficiences / lack of respect for juniors
My first week in ER my MD handed me a page of handwritten text he wanted me to type up that looked like it was a Christmas card written by a demented grandma. I honest to God thought it was a joke. Turns out some MDs don't like typing and somehow never learned how to type/use basic computer skills despite the computer being invented for decades now... It really is a joke. In my job before ER everyone knew how to fucking type, yet some how bank MDs get away with it. I understand not being able to format a chart/excel, or quickly understanding some new software, but why some cant type is beyond me.
Or the indecisive ones that cross something out, write something over it, circle it, scribble out the circle, then write some archaic latin like "stet" (that you have to google), underline stet 4 times, then cross out stet and write 6 questions marks.
All of that resulting in a conversation where you have to gently insinuate (without suggesting that you know anything your MD doesn't) that, based on your understanding, "predominately" and "predominantly" can be used interchangeably.
You then move to the comments on the lower half of page 4 of the 124 page CIM.
maybe a deep cut.....
Who tf uses predominately though
I lump this in with people who speak extremely softy and somewhat with people who have a common sounding name but special it different (Jessyca or Chrystine).
If you're an MD, you're most likely not 20, meaning you have lived a lot of life. At multiple points through your life, someone has probably asked you to speak up or questioned your handwriting, you think you would fix it at some point. (somewhat side note: never get the weird name spelling. When your born, do both your parents agree it would be great if you have to spell your name every time you say it?)
Lmao I just got fucked over over unturned comment due to MDs writing in arabic instead of fking Latin letters jesus
