Financese?

I'm starting to think that I communicate in some odd dialect of English that people who work in technology don't understand. For example, when I ask that they send me forecasts of big ticket items they will be purchasing over the remainder of the year and specify that I need to know (1) what they will be buying, (2) how much it will cost, and (3) when they expect to buy it, I'm lucky if they give me two of those three pieces of information.

Aaarrrggghhh!

It's not that you’re not communicating with them, it's that they have inherent packet filters built in that will only allow so much information to pass, or they just don't know anything.

It's comforting (for me) to know that we at the LIRR budget office aren't the only ones who have this experience. You left out one other piece of information: why they're buying it.
