No, it’s a legit gripe.
I’m routinely asked to make reports, but things stall when I ask, “so what do you actually need to see on the report, and where should the data come from”. A lot of people out there are kind of cargo cutting their way through things.
> cargo cutting
Cargo culting. Though cargo cutting would be interesting to watch :-)
ooops. Missed that typo.
I didn't read the comment as especially snarky.
Your response was both snarky and personal which I think comes across much worse.

I don't think parent was trying to be clever. In my neck of the woods various reports have to be massaged hard to account for some of stupid data decisions in the old times.
You would be amazed how many issued we identified so far and our mgmt uncharacteristically wants us to bring up issues. Some companies kill their messengers.
So yeah.. I absolutely buy that a portion of business reports are of low quality.
Like, we get it - you resent your coworkers & consider them beneath you.
Hopefully, your unique, elite output keeps you employable for a few quarters longer than them.
