      This happens in every company as well. The lower down the totem pole, the more legible your emails.

      New guy sends a carefully crafted, 6-paragraph email with context, analysis, decision point, options and recommendations, summarising a month’s worth of work.

      CEO’s email, sent during another meeting: “ok. mak sure bob knows so it dosen’t impact projext wildebeest”

      The new guy has to scramble to figure out who’s bob and what’s wildebeest, and it turns out the CEO meant Peter instead of Bob

        Eventually growth will be supported by a whole industry of chatgpt talking to chatgpt. It’s the new consulting business.

      Some people, sure. It’s usually more something like “rewrite my (casually written) text to sound like a professional email” and ChatGPT is gonna add all the business lingo fluff.

      I use it to do the opposite, reduce my word count, and change the tone to helpful instead of frustrated and angry.

      Probably.

      I’ve seen a lot of junior staff who don’t know proper email etiquette put a lot of formality into their emails. It isn’t a stretch to get an AI to add it for you.

    This is me, but for every email I receive that’s over 2 sentences. I don’t know if it’s because of my ADHD, but I know it’s not normal.
