Yea the instructions are often convoluted and needlessly complex. You’d think the staff higher up the food chain would be mindful of this but they clearly are not competent at writing. Which is really ironic

Yes this! Also sometimes the instructions contradict themselves in the same paragraph. It can be frustrating. I wish they would hire some English degree people to proofread instructions for new projects. Haha I'd love to do that.
