Some more background: We’re a small enterprise (boss, six employees, secretary, two trainees). Except our secretary and the trainees, everybody has an academic degree.
We did try to institute that as a rule, but only me and one person working from home office consistently do so. The person working from home office is also, at the moment, very busy because of some deadlines, so I can’t ask him to proofread. The others do proofread, but don’t ask for proofreading in return, which makes asking low-status.
They are either better at proofreading than I am or make less mistakes in the first place.
In fact, I fear the underlying problem is that I am not able to concentrate well, so my work is more error prone.
Making as little mistakes as possible in the first place would obviously be the best solution, but I have even less of an idea how to achieve that, given my current abilities and work conditions.
