- paulcole 4y agoThey’re among the 5 or 10 most important people at one of the biggest companies in the world. They’re not sliding down a dinosaur’s tail at 5PM.
- trentgreene 4y ago“Sliding down a dinosaur’s tail”? What does that mean? Never heard the idiom before Edit: is this a flintstones ref?
- lotsofpulp 4y agoYes, as in working the type of job that the flintstones did where they stop working at a set time. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uq7noaMwLfg https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uq7noaMwLfg
- pcurve 4y agoI smiled big when I read that reference. Some people are so creative :)
- Vibgyor5 4y agoI am more surprised at the speed at which they reply with a reasonably well-thought response
- pcurve 4y agoVery true. I've worked in corporate job for 15 years working up to director after 9. I still find writing email tedious and error prone, and envy those who do it well.
- Vibgyor5 4y agoCurious: any insights you can share on learnings you had throughout your career when it comes to writing succinct but to the point emails/documents/communication? I think this would be very helpful for someone who's just venturing on to half of your career length.
