How To Annoy The Evil Paperwork Fairy's Boss

One way guaranteed to annoy my boss is to say that the review of a major document resulted in something that was wrong. Her stress levels immediately shoot up to boiling point, and she starts ranting about how the complainants signed off on the document in question - in fact, the last couple of times it crossed their desks, they just signed it without even looking at it.

I, of course, agree with everything she says during this rant. How can I not? I, personally, do not understand all that much about the functioning of this company, except at a fairly general level, and except what is written in the documentation. All I can do is put the document into review at the appropriate time, and make changes that are requested. The content of the documents are largely the responsibility of others.

It's one of the basic aims of GMP - that the appropriate people take responsibility for the appropriate parts of the manufacturing operation. And that means the paperwork, too.
