I notice the AG’s office was less helpful than the League that explained the personnel time limitation, unless that does not apply to them. Either way, it’s a lazy answer.
I answer detailed very technical questions in my profession every day. In a situation like this, I explain all the relevant pieces. Otherwise, your questioner will be aggravated by coming back to ask the obvious things they omitted.
IMO, the only reason a public service professional, who should know better, does this is because they take so little care for their constituents, that they can’t be bothered to answer questions, or they are being passive-aggressive by purposely leaving out information that will keep their constituent from complete their task.
To apply this to business, substitute “client” or “boss”.
I don’t know which it is here, it is certainly below my professional standard and I require the same from my reports.
