- sixstringtheory 7y agoIf I had a manager send this to me, it would impress in my mind a comical and degrading image of them hunting and pecking for keys. Doesn’t conjure much respect in an industry where computers are the main tool, IMO.
- everyone 7y agoWell the hypothetical manager would have no control over the images of people you apparently form for whatever reasons.
- sixstringtheory 7y agoSolipsism. In communication, intent and perception are both factors that affect how the parties view each other. This is what "know your audience" means. > apparently form for whatever reasons I already gave you the reason: they aren't communicating professionally. They do have some control over how they project their image to others. After all, they're the one writing the message.
- everyone 7y agoThis is getting into the realm of philosophy. According to Stoicism, one has no control over others thoughts. I personally think thats a quite valid view. I would evaluate a message from a manager by practical rubrics. 1. Clarity. 2. Comprehensiveness. 3. Terseness. Even those are fairly subjective, anything beyond that is so subjective it could counjour perhaps any image in someones head depending on the person. According my my rubrics above, the managers message was fine.
- anchpop 7y agoAs with most things in life, it's about signaling. At work I always type with correct grammar to seem professional. On twitter I deliberately don't use capital letters or apostrophes to seem relaxed. Not because I actually care (and I don't care what anyone else does), but it influences how I'm seen. I really have no idea why it matters so much to some people, other than generic "its just our culture" arguments.
- everyone 7y agoSeems like u are engaging in much that you are aware is unnecessary bullshit. I personally wouldnt be happy doing that. I value intellectual honesty extremely highly for some reason. Have you read this? I like it. http://classics.mit.edu/Epictetus/epicench.html http://classics.mit.edu/Epictetus/epicench.html Its an Enchiridion for Stoicism. Literally a handbook designed to be carried around and consulted as situations arise.
