Robert KingettWho the fuck taught people how to pen business emails? Holy Christ on a cracker! Absolutely nothing creams my corn more than having to actively translate what these professional suits are typing to me. I just received an email that was 5 paragraphs that essentially boiled down to, hey, I really liked your report you sent last Monday. Can we schedule a Zoom call tomorrow? Yes or no? I am so tired of professional communications. I am frankly exhausted with having to translate professional sludge. Why in the healthiest of hell is it OK, even desirable, that our society likes this kind of mind nummingcommunication? Everybody calls it professional but I just call it a gigantic fucking headache. And who the hell came up with professionalism anyhow? Iām really starting to hate the concept of professionalism and professional writing styles. No wonder everyone has meetings. No one can write. No one can string together a competent business sentence without 90,000 corporate qualifiers. You can have perfect grammar and perfect spelling and in fact be the worst writer. Can we change what it means to write professionally? Because this is a level of hell that I never noticed prior to getting away from corporate offices. #Writing #Business
diana š³ļøāā§ļøš¦š±Does it get worse? Yes. I see my current org writing their emails in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Bad formatting and all. I wish I was joking.
They don't understand why I'm leaving this month for a new employer that requires everyone to have at least accredited engineering degrees and demonstrable experience.
