So I've recently discovered that my emails at work aren't well received by upper management for the following reason:
I use CONTRACTIONS.
What the hell is wrong with contractions, honestly. It's part of the English language and should be welcomed with open arms.
I ing hate dumbing down a sentence just to sound correct.
"I have not received an email from Bob"
what the hell.
is every place of business this anal? or do i have a point.
and yes. I dropped out of high school. haha look at the idiot try and use the internet. i get it. so don't bother. |

In a formal job environment, you should be communicating in formal language. That means no contractions/slang/informal language.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's as retarded as you do. But, if that's the way it has to be, then that's the way it has to be. It's better than being unemployed.
Suck it up and spend 4 extra seconds per email :p |

i sent this email to everyone in my department on my last day there. it's pretty much a bunch of sarcasm that most didn't get.

But, I think it's important for all of us to maintain a bit of the innocence that we had during our younger days. This innocence is going to make the good times even better and help you through the bad times. I think S.E. Hinton said it best about the innocence of your youth in the novel The Outsiders..."Stay gold Ponyboy, stay gold".
It's been good working with everyone and I wish you all the best. |
