I work at a place where data quality is not on anyone’s radar. We have a reporting team in our group so we do our best where we can, but combining any datasets with other groups (like marketing & sales) is next to impossible as each team is silo’d and do things their own way - think free-form text fields to tag content…

How can I politely and succinctly say the above? Also, anyone else in a similar boat?

    Having been in a situation in which management could not quite grasp the concept of “what you’re asking is literally impossible” the only answer I have to give is to leave and find someplace smarter to work.
