For what it's worth as someone senior who is sometimes the source of the urgent request, I actually want to be educated by the team I'm bringing it to. Blind adherence to urgent asks is actually an anti-pattern (even if it's frustrating to have someone push back hard in the moment).
- secondcoming 4y ago'educated', really? It's quite possible to turn down someone's request for work without 'educating' them.
- hypesafe 4y agoI think secondcoming is interpreting "to educate" to mean "to be schooled / to be instructed" whereas others are interpreting "to educate" to mean "to provide information / to persuade with information". Both are viable meanings per Merriam Webster. The tone of the twitter thread led me to believe that the author was trying to convey the latter meaning which does not come across as pompous. However, if someone was to parse the earlier meaning from the thread I can see how it could be viewed as pompous.
