As an engineer I'd hope you wouldn't have to write fluff. Brevity (while retaining full content) should be praised.

I'm interested what parts of your job require the fluff? Is it communication with non engineering teams?

Not necessarily technical writings but more like emails to ask for something, emails to decline something or even a birthday card.

It's also great for writing a professional sounding complaint letter to your utility company.

A lot of people seem to think that details that other people think are relevant are actually "fluff."
