how do I get people to understand that if you need to make changes to a document - do NOT do it in the PDF version. PDFs are the devil's format and they will break everything.

always keep the original Word version and always make edits in Word itself.

and for the love of god DO NOT convert a Word document to PDF, then (for some reason) convert that PDF back to Word and expect it to still have the same functionality as the original!!!!

#every day I think about that post that said office jobs are piss easy and anyone can just pop in for a day and do a good job #where are all the people who think it's easy and why do none of them work at my office!!!#genuinely wish I could control the hiring process bc I would make people do a take home assignment:#you receive a word document with comments and tracked changes and a table of contents #plus a list of additional changes to make to the document. you make the changes.#accept tracked changes. resolve the comments. update the table of contents. and convert to PDF.#if you can do that successfully - congrats you are already better than 90% of my employees!#augh. I'm just. exhausted 🫠
