Took the same path, just wanted to commiserate on the emails. It'll teach you where Bezos got the idea for his infamous "!"/"?" emails.
Somebody burn email and chat to the ground, I want to move back to interoffice memos ;)
- aprdm 2y agoCan you share a bit more about Bezos email ?
- groby_b 2y agoAncient Internet lore at this point :) Bezos used to (supposedly, didn't work for him) have the habit to forward emails to reports (direct and further down), with just an added comment of "!" or "?" "!" was "Do something about this" "?" was "Can you please explain WTH?" https://www.reddit.com/r/MBA/comments/kwryld/on_product_management_when_i_got_a_email_from/ https://www.reddit.com/r/MBA/comments/kwryld/on_product_mana... is an example story of that. There are plenty more. The exclamation mark version seems apocryphal, though.
