Boss demands lab employees provide testing reports earlier in the day, they warn him that the data won't be complete, his insistence leads to more work for him: ‘He can't figure it out’

Completing a work-related task as fast as possible does not necessarily mean the job was done well, but apparently, many managers struggle to come to terms with that. In their eyes, a fast job means a good job, because they simply can't be bothered.

That kind of logic is what probably led the boss in the story below to demand that the science lab employees provide a daily report at 11:00 AM. Even though the results from their tests can never be ready at that time, the boss insisted on this report as early as possible, which led the employee to give him reports with half-completed data.

By the end of the month, when it was time to gather all the reports, lo and behold, the boss had a lot of missing sections he had to complete. Since he only realised it at the end of the day, none of the employees were there to help him out, and he had to find a way to clean up his own mess.

Will the boss learn from this mistake and take back his demand for incomplete reports? We'll have to wait and see…
