More Microsoft-speak
Maybe it’s really “management-speak” as Raymond Chen calls it but it certainly reminds me of other examples of Microsoft-speak. I’m referring to a recent blog by Chen where he posts:
This is the entire text of an actual piece of email I received from a high-level manager in response to some feedback I sent.
Thanks.
There is a lot of norming around any of these mechanisms as well as a certain amount of ability to hold ones ground in these interactions in addition to the admin of the rule being good enough as discussed.
Bob (not the manager’s actual name)
Chen is a high-level Microsoft programmer but he is also a lucid and entertaining writer. His blog topics range from really technical programming points to amusing anecdotes.
