I don't know, I've had a couple of bosses who were native English speakers and they would dash off emails so fast obviously without reading them that it took me multiple reads to parse what they might be trying to say. If it were just punctuation or spelling errors I would have been happy.
I suspect they wrote to their bosses much more carefully.
But something as sketchy as this setup would have my antenna twitching anyway, so these kinds of mistakes would probably be red flags given that context, otherwise maybe not
- sean2 4y agoI gotta agree, poor grammar didn't stand out as a red flag to me. I've been through interview loops with like like 80% of the written and verbal correspondence was with people who had English as a second language and they frequently made similar grammatical mistakes. I'm pretty sure two of those companies were legitimately Intel and Amazon. I'm also surrounded by Asian immigrants in the US and its pretty common to take an English name (sometimes first and last) if your name is so full of non-ASCII characters that American's can't pronounce.
- simne 4y agoThanks for good point. I sometimes released, many extroverts (managers/tops nearly all extroverts), are tongue-tied, because they are not thinking before say. They act like Colt, polling any semi-relevant phrase from scrap-bag of memory, and shooting with it.
