I know this person is talented and well-known (though I'm not familiar with their work outside of the org charts comic), but the whole "tee hee I'm such a troublemaker!!!" focus makes me understand why some people are reacting the way they are here. To me, it would come off as insincere, passive-aggressive, and demeaning if someone talked to me like this, especially at work. And before I see a "you must be fun at parties" comment, there is a very distinct difference between friendliness and patronizing. However: >Survivor of late stage cancer [1] I have no idea what this sort of thing does to the psyche, outlook, and communication style of a human being, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here.
