No, really. Not to toot my own horn, but I consider myself to be a fairly patient person. I think that I can take a whole bunch of crap, then release my anger/upsetedness/etc into the wild. I think it takes a lot for me to get so worked up about something that I can't think straight. But now it's happened. In who knows how long, I'm actually really pissed off. Thoroughly peeved.
When you give someone a job, you let them do it. If they don't do the way you want them to, you should've given better instructions. Now, it is understandable to re-do what someone has done (or not done) if you gave explicit instructions, and they failed to follow them. BUT if that person followed your instructions to the t, and you don't like it, you have two options:
*sigh* Okay, so I have left and come back. I will not change my words. I am upset. I had a job, and my job, without warning, was taken away from me. I'd like to have it back.

BUT if that person followed your instructions to the t, and you don't like it, you have two options:
- Tell them that you don't like it, and see what they can do to change it. It may be that you have absolutely NO idea about the problems that came up, and this was the absolute last resort. It could also be that you somehow implied that you effing wanted it that way. You won't know until you ask.
- Deal with it. You gave them an assignment. (Re-)Doing their work only makes them feel used, unnecessary, and upset. If you change it, you will undermine who they are as a person.
