If 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.
