Did you ever had to redo someone else' work?

Yes I did that before and I was pissed off. What pisses me off was that on the same day I will submit that documents to my boss and also before this report started I explained it already on how it will turn out but the person who did the report did not follow my set up but instead he followed his own set-up in a way that he will understand it and will make it easier for him. How I hate that experienced. I learned my lesson well, and from there on I did not allow to redo someone's work since that is their responsibility in the first place, to analyze their report and submit it on time.

I don't really hate since it is part of my job but it does frustrate me sometimes. ether are times when I have to redo someone's work even though I already pointed out the mistakes to the original worker. It is just frustrating that people can take the time to understand the situation and the responsibility I bear.

I think that happens all the time in our office. I think when we work in teams at times, we simply have to take up the other's work. So I have had to redo a lot of people's work at various times in my career. At times it is frustrating, but I think it is just a part and parcel of corporate work culture these days. Cheers! Ram

That does sound really frustrating for you. I hope that your co workers apologized for the mistake and making you correct their workload. I know what that is like, I had to completely redo something someone else did for me because there was a mistake with it. So I just wind up wasting so much of my time that I never asked those people to help me with anything again.

I know how it feels.I always experience this,I always redo things and work of others at work.It is really irritating that you will do other work that sometimes your own work suffers.Instead of spending your time to finish your own work,I'm consuming it in working and correcting other job.

I did a lot of times and it is so frustrating. That is the main reason why I hate group work. I end up doing it alone because they can't do it right. The worst thing of it is when they already gave you the permission to change their work, the next day, they grumble that why I have to change it. Excuse me, if I don't change it then I might end up failing too because they did it entirely wrong. Oh well, it's he price you have to pay for knowing too much. People would tend to rely on you. ~Sighs~ -_-

Hi! That is something should not happen, since it is a team work/project, if there are things to redo, everyone will to be responsible on it and everyone will have to do it together. I had these situation once before when I was in the University, there are 5 members in the team after submitted the assignment to our lecturer, and it was on the last day of our lecture and the next day was holiday, everyone have went back to their hometown for holiday, and I was the only one who left in the campus because of I have something else to do, and because of some mistake from one of the team member, the lecturer called me and wanted me to correct it and pass to him the next day, at that point of time, it really pissed me off because I have to sacrifice my time and holiday to redo the assignment mistake that done by someone else in the team. That was what happened to me before.

I don't really hate it since it is part of my job but it does frustrate me sometimes. There are times when I have to redo someone's work even though I already pointed out the mistakes to the original worker.

Work is never easy but there should always considerations for other's efforts and time.

In a work environment, it is inevitable sometimes that you redo the work of you team mates. But you don't have to do it yourself. You could always ask help from your team so that you could finish on time.

Hi chiyosan, Sometimes it is very annoying when we had to redo others work without support. In my earlier profile, i had the responsibility of compiling data and MIS received from various offices before presenting to the board. And one particular office used to sent their own report though irrespective of the uniformity followed by rest of us. It took me a while to make them understand the problems i faced with them. U know not only phone calls and mails, but i had to send person from a nearby centre for training them. But when they realized the blunder, they were sorry... but at times such extra load make us upset.

This reminds me of my superiors son. We were working on a bidding and was assign different categories. Before the deadline we meet up in the office to submit our work and finalize as well.All got angry when our boss son who were assign with the mechanical aspects did not submit anything but scratch.. I stayed in our office until 9 pm to do all the work he did not accomplished. But because he is somewhat a superior also,i didnt even move a muscle to complain.. good thing is that,he stayed with me and give me a lift after we finished.

Yes, I did that a lot. I said ok when I saw that others tried but couldn't do their work properly, and that's why I had to redo it. But I really got pissed off when I saw that they just didn't care, knowing that I would fix it. It was very annoying as I was just a team member and not in a better position than anyone.

Well, I dont know much about doing other's work but me and our team sometimes end up doing someone else's work from scratch. It happens many times in my office, can't help but just pity myself.

It can be very frustrating to have to do the work all over again. It happened to me too. I used to work in a bank and I didn't have the chance to have a decent manager. There were many times he gave me an assignment only to change his mind when the work was all done. I had to do it all over again with new requirements. Not only once, after doing the same project twice, I found out that the top management approved my first work.
