I swear, I spend more time tracking down information from colleagues than actually doing my work. Is it just me, or is getting simple answers to questions a monumental task in consulting?

Definitely not just you, I'm dealing with it right now. Imo it's the sign of a bad team/poor leadership

It’s not just you. People in consulting are quickly losing the ability to answer simple questions with clear and direct answers and it is the most frustrating thing in this world.

Not sure your situation, but I think remote work has a lot to do with this as well. People go through the motion providing an answer with a little effort as possible. It was a lot different when you would just pop over to a cube and ask a question. Accountability seems to erode in remote/hybrid environments
