Today I want to acknowledge and honor the people who do the work.

During and after Covid, a lot of people went offline and became unreachable. Nobody picks up the phone and you’re routed to a general call-center. Emails are not to a person but to a group and in general there’s a sense of detachment.

The one-to-one relation is lost after Covid.

However, there are still good people out there who not only give you their phone number willingly, but they also help you. Imagine that!
They want to help you and not route you to some general clueless call center.

So when I called one of our new sales guys a year after Covid was in full swing, he answered the phone immediately and gave me what I wanted in 30 minutes.

I was shocked! But I was also glad to know that there are still many good people out there whose voices and deeds are overshadowed by today’s politics, identity agendas and other insane trends.

God bless these good hard-working folks who word tirelessly and without praise.

You know what really grinds my gears?

Loss of grammatical decorum in office emails.
People start sentences with lowercase in the subject line, in the body of the email, no spaces sometimes no commas just a mesh of a vegetables squeezed in a juicer and i wonder what happened to people after Covid.
You call yourself a CIO too and you can't even write professionally?

That's what grinds my gears.

Emails within the office? They probably think it doesn't matter. I'm not saying it DOESN'T, but they probably think it doesn't.

(People still do email? OFFICES still do email? They should at least have switched to a group text or WhatsApp group by now...)

I think that the whole chat thing has ruined email etiquette.
You know, chatting in Teams since covid.
Now people have forgotten how to write an email.
Hey lady, you’re the chief of finance and you just sent me an email with lowercase letter in the subject mail and the body of email.
Wake up. Covid is over,

So you ain't with that whole text/chat style speech coming from phone texting conversations? Wel, u got 2get over it. LOL.

My wife is a recovering English teacher...and fat fingers text messages to me all the time. I was getting pretty jealous of "Yoy" when she kept texting me that she loved Yoy until I figured out she meant "you" instead but kept mis-texting.
