It's so sad this happens just because people can't handle not looking professional 😭

people can’t handle not looking professional 😭

For weeird definitions of 'professional', right?

At both my jobs, I talk in points; I write in points; I rewrite their long-winded shit "just to be sure we're clear," in points.

It's not god's work I'm doing, but it preserves my sanity when it's distilled down to facts and goals like my technical writing prof recommended so many years ago. \shrug

I absolutely despise what I call "Bookkeeping" otherwise known as writing stuff for the sake of having more words

But bookkeeping already means something else…

[–] Kualdir@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well yes but in dutch its kinda just used for any type of "paperwork" hence I just call it bookkeeping

It's a good thing you added those additional words instead of saying simply

I despise "Bookkeeping"

They really helped make your point much more clear:-).
