> I'm sure it's my fault, somehow - but I'm a damn good writer; I just don't know how to communicate with people who won't put forth the effort to engage with detail.

I used to put effort into those people. It was a waste of time. Now I just do everything I can to ignore them, work around them, etc.

Knowledge workers who won't engage with the material are just like ditch diggers who won't touch a shovel. They're dead weight, and organizations that fail to cull them are doing it all wrong.

Sadly, that's most of them these days.
