Oh, wow. I wouldn’t have guessed that.
What’s a glowie? 🤔
I wish I had the resources to do similar.
Wow, I was confused who it was at first.
I appreciate that someone could tell I didn’t mean to be super broad.
Jargon definitely falls under the umbrella I was pointing at. Communication among co-workers. Managers. Etc.
The whole style feels cold to me. And impersonal. And I hate it. Jargon can definitely play a role. But I’m also ok with certain types that actually do make communication flow smoother. But yeah, the vapid jargon that masks a lack of understanding, curiosity or humility is a bummer.
I said more in another comment, but I mean stuff like email. The thing companies like Apple are showing ads on TV for.
Sorry, I was focused in on professional communication. All those emails sent by bosses that feign interest or care. All necessary niceties that can grate on someone once they know many are just masks.
I wasn’t being precise, and I assumed others wouldn’t think about it in such broad terms. I agree that my statement would be silly if it applied to all writing that people get paid for.
Well, Um. There are 3% of us!
My point is I assume they didn’t lose money on them. They feel the scale of profit needs to be higher, else it’s not worth their time. And I think it’s a bummer that they run things this way.
That 3% would be a lot of customers to other reasonably sized companies. Right?
Did I overlook the sales numbers? Do they exist?
What’s the typical fixable issue you are finding?
