- madmountaingoat 2y agoThere has only been one company I've worked for where 'learnings' was used extensively. It was Swedish. Not sure if that is relevant.
- criddell 2y agoMine is performant. People sometimes use it as a synonym for high performance when really it just means working about as well as you would expect it to. It doesn't imply anything especially great.
- kelnos 2y agoThis is one of the very few that I'm a little -- a little! -- sympathetic toward. I don't know its origins, but to me, "lessons" can sound kind of harsh, like in the sense of a parent wagging their finger at a child, "I hope you've learned your lesson!" In contrast, "learnings" sounds quite a lot more friendly and less charged.
