Why does nobody talk about how long a boss can drag out a simple project?
My manager asked me to make a basic report on our team's monthly sales, which should have taken maybe two hours. It ended up taking three full days because he kept changing the format, the data points he wanted, and the colors of the charts, sending new emails each time. Has anyone else had a boss who turns a quick task into a week-long mess?

Quinn_Nguyen is right... bosses just want it done right.

Perfect is when you spend three hours on a report and they change the font. Bosses want it done right, but their idea of right is a moving target. It's like they ask for a sandwich and then get mad you didn't read their mind about the pickles. Next time just hand them the bread and let them build it themselves.
