3 of my corporate icks

icky

We’ve all got ‘em. Here are three of my corporate icks:

  • Jargony language: Just say what you mean, please. No “double-click” ing.

  • Hey:” Please don’t do this. Send what you want to say all in one message. Why leave me wondering? Say it all at once.

  • Same question, multiple places: If you have a question for me, please just ask it in one place (ideally Slack). I don’t need a Slack DM, tag on a Google Doc, brought in to an MPDM (multi-person DM) and tagged in the project channel, all for the same question you need an answer to.
