This is tangential to just workplace stuff but I used to work for a manager that only wanted us to send them an email using their specific heading template and email body template for certain email subjects. If you didn’t use it they would get really bitchy about it. So I had to send them an email one day regarding the subject. I used the template, filled it out specifically to their specifications. The response I got back was:
Thamks
-sent from iPhone
One of the things that stood out the most to me in the Epstein files was just how many typos Epstein made in his emails
They don’t have to write correctly. Nobody will dare to correct them. The burden to decipher what they mean is entirely on you. You - on the other hand - may lose your job if your sloppily written email ends up in the wrong inbox.
Yeah we underlings have to make sure our corporate emails sound professional.
Used to work with a billionaire. Can confirm.
One thing all super rich people seem to do is end their emails with the most basic signature. Like just their initials in lowercase or something.
I’m perfectly okay with the signature thing. Way better than the mandatory giant product banner and contact information “signatures” that are injected into our emails where I work.
Where I work people have started doing the short signature immediately before the giant contact info signature.
I think it’s asinine but literally every email I’ve gotten from someone outside my team in the last two weeks has done it, so now I’m doing it too lest someone think I’m being rude or some shit.
At work I don’t write a text signature at all. My contact info is in the header already. If they demand a signature, then it’s going to be a detached GPG signature.
That makes email threads much more difficult to parse, it’s useful to be able to tell when an email ends and who sent it.
That’s in the headers!
I’d go crazy if I worked with someone writing like that and sending emails with an empty subject.
Dude don’t make me defend billionaires crimes are kinda fun. I ain’t never done that kind of crime, I don’t like hurting people unless it’s their ears with raucous jazz, but haven’t you ever wanted to have Chinese takeout on a picnic blanket at a park that closes at dark at midnight? Fuck I didn’t have time to go buy red spice delicious block today.
How many weed have you injected today?
I just like committing gay crimes is all.
And like all of them
