Are you talking about interviewing poeple? Or are you talking about asking questions that are impossible to answer definitively.

Its like when my managing director asks me whats the risk of doing this, or leaving it as it. Impossible to give a concise answer because the the answer is always prefaced by "it depends", i.e. Context is always needed.

I hate having to manage up, giving as little information as possible because more questions that want to make me pull my hair out will follow if I elaborate too much in the answer. Is that what your staff are doing to you?

IMO, you are becoming one of those C-Suite aggregators of information who think their job is just to look at the variables and make a decision, when in truth, you aren't grasping the nuances and subtleties of the answer.

This sums it up

Depends on the question doe

Uh yea so you seem to fit into the type I was just talking about.

You get paid a lot of money to make complex things simple for the layman. No one cares how many boxes you draw in excel to represent the network schematic, nor does anyone care why it's colour coded the way it is or if you did it on a 27" 4k Dell. Use your judgement to provide a concise solution and identify any potential risk and probability, that's it. It's widely accepted that decisions are not made with complete info or correct info so stop adding filler, just answer the question as it was asked, no justification is needed as you were put in a position where it's assumed you already understand and have accounted for incompleteness/incorrect info and their potential impact.

C suite material right hur.....
Makes decisions with incomplete picture because won't take time to listen to the options, and sees everything in black or white, no nuances.

Blue collar environment on the other hand, I do miss being in it on a full time basis, everything was quick and simple with a little bullshitting around.

simple minds

So you are comparing making business decisions to brain surgery? Again, a brain surgeon doesn't know all the variables because they aren't known. In most business situations, the variables are known, but the senior managers don't want to take the time to understand. You hired a subject matter expert, let them give you a complete picture.

frig everyone does that. people feel the need to sit down and tell me their entire medical history when all i asked for was their health card. i really don't need to know you had paining in your knee in 1992.
