Then in some other rather corrupt places, money is made by dragging the solution ad infinitum or close to it, because penalties for missed releases are crafted in a way that makes delays still more profitable than finishing in time (easier when supplier and customer are "in the same bed" and money comes from the government), so that if you offer a quick solution you immediately see people looking at you like you were a bank robber. Oh the irony:)

There's a weird social dynamic that I don't fully understand.. maybe it's fatigue causing lack of desire to learn how to make your job easier and feel inferior .. who knows

Automating part of the process may reduce the drudgery, but there's an existential fear from some people -- that if a part of their job can be automated, they'll be made redundant. Or the boss will ask them to do more work, faster, for the same pay.

I don't like to see life as a game of trick.

[0] tbh people also have various emotions so I could have tried to take this into account but I was too ~immatureat the time

that said personal relationships have the same issue, you feel like something could be done but people resist even considering your inputs.. which gives me the idea that most people want to be heard first rather than have solution brought to them

People forcing their way into your problems are very annoying, again I know I do that at times but I've stopped doing that almost entirely and basically try to listen more than I speak.

I guess I’m somewhat confused because there was an earlier claim that one had no idea why anyone would be frustrated, but clearly you seem to have a good idea of why someone would seemingly refuse help.

Again we were all doing the same thing and I just suggested using my shit to go faster. One other idea is that there are a few layers of interactions, people prefer suggestions from those they trust, or those they respect. I didn't have that at the time somehow.

I would suspect it's only absurd because of one's personal lack of understanding of the situation. I can only speculate the full situation, but I can imagine a hypothetical situation where a bunch of accountants joke in camraderie about how much their accounting jobs suck, but when someone actually tries to resolve this, the "fixer" is actually trying to fix a non-problem due to lack of social insight and thus the fixer seems absurd.
