Came here to say this. I’m a sales engineer and often find myself monologuing about technical shit, over the years I’ve worked it into my schtick to stop and make sure everyone is still understanding. 

Be prepared for something completely unrelated to you to be the wet blanket here.

I’m 100% ok with having brief pointless meetings.  It’s the long pointless meetings that I take issue with 

Not if you live in the northeast US ;)

This works right up until your doorknobs are around 65+ years old, then you’re looking at potentially a little bit more complexity.

95% percent of the shit on this list is purchased by gift givers, and not by the actual parents.

Mentioning a landfill in the subheader is dumb. Leaves are completely biodegradable and wouldn’t adversely affect anything. Also, they don’t generally end up and a landfill but in a yard waste facility where they will be turned into compost.

We’ve always historically done very well with Toyota owners with the Tundra, but we think this truck will give us the ability to conquest more because of its towing capabilities and because of its brand positioning, the strength of the look of the truck, and the interior of the truck.

Side note: I used to work for a software company that helped private companies track equity/cap tables, and REIT’s were our white hot nightmare...

How TF did these not make the list?

Something containing the name “Delta” rn... Oof

Have had multiple friends who have written purposefully manipulative, completely full of shit letters trying to sway sellers. I’m talking people who have no intention of having children, waxing poetic about watching their children play in the backyard.

COVID Vaccine!

There was one sentence that didn’t get enough attention, which is the one about being clear about what how you want the issue resolved. I can’t believe how many times I’ve read correspondence where someone absolutely UNLOADED on company about a situation, and then got pissed about the offered resolution, all because…

You sure about that? Every job I’ve ever had for the last 10+ years has had me signing a ream of papers upon starting. Many of those included some sort of agreement saying I wouldn’t work for someone else “on company time”. Which is somewhat specific, but honestly much of the US is “at will” anyway, so they don’t…

“Start Slideshow”
