I am checking some alerts, they should verify some complicated conditions, to test some values decided by a customer. The report names are funcy and do not tell all the story, all the checks that are done. The alert name cannot be changed so its name diverged from what is checked, even for which customer it is set up. Some of the conditions are not even getting data.

Frustration

One colleague at some point has really done a shity job, what should I do now, go to see him and complain? Redo the job for him? Listen to the fact he was in a rush?

The problems with half done stuff, because you are in a rush, are always the sames.

they are half done – so they are not good – you cannot trust them.

If all seems good, you always have a douth, is it really true?

If something is wrong and then was good, it makes you loose time.

So the confidence is lost, and you are sure you will pay again with your time for something not finished.

If still this is something only for yourself, you may maybe leave with it for a while, only you or your team knows.

Much worse if it is somebody outside your team that notices it, your stuff start becoming suspicios and people loose confidence, not just on that part but ultimately on all the stuff your team is doing.

So please, if it is half-done, it is just not-done, no bullshit: the sooner you admit is not done the better it is.
