| I also find the "manifesto" format of this piece off-putting, and am not sure how I would take it if it were presented to me up front by someone who wanted me to work with them. That said, many of the points seem (from eyeballing) seem quite reasonable, and to touch on certain (sadly) highly prevalent anti-patterns in the modern w$rk culture (especially these days, when anyone remotely competent can catapult to a senior-sounding position within a couple of years, without much in the way of actual people and business process experience to match). For example, the items on: - expecting others to read your mind and/or take hints (sometimes sanctioning them for not doing so) - dragging people into meetings that aren't effective or especially relevant to them (as if their time is infinite and worthless) - assuming everyone is on the same "channel" as you (in regard to social media, answering texts at crazy hours, etc) Seem to be basically on point, and sadly, do not go "without saying" in the modern work universe (given how frequently these basic points of decency are overrun or ignored, in some environments). |
