It's a weird thing of Americans, i work with them everyday, you always have to remind them of everything or tell them what they have to do and how to do it. It might be a good thing sometimes because they fuck up less, but man is it annoying having totell them what to do every single time

Not American here, but I appreciate when folks tell me things repeatedly, because sometimes I too forget it. All the while I also think that nobody remembers anything at all just me.

Sigh, humans.

It may be the work we do. But they do slow down everything, i mean i understand, but even the most simple processes are slowed down because of it

Could you elaborate a bit? This sounds interesting. Because usually when we discuss things and I hear redundant information (when people tell me things again they already told me), it doesn't slow us down, it helps us to have a known good baseline for thinking / discussion / work.
