Coffee Break: Big Red Button

I have recently met a colleague at a coffee break. He is assigned at the moment at one of those really messy audit project: the work papers are 50% prepared, conclusions are not clear, work books hard to follow. This made him writing a lot of review comments and to do lots of corrections himself.

As we were going on with our small chat we had a very fresh idea :) The thing is that the work of re-doing something after somebody has already done something incorrectly is so frustrating in audit and in other intellectual jobs. So we suggested that as soon as an audit senior is being promoted to manager level he/she should be supplied with the laptop with just one big red button "Please, re-do!" to write review comments easily. Whenever you push this button it would generate this only comment: "Please, re-do!". :)

Probably the laptop* would look like this one on the pic :)
