Also known for being very direct and unfiltered in my communication even (some say especially)in the face of managers several levels above me because I just can't be arsed to put up with BS business procedures that doesn't work right..
I tend to just re-write em in the spot and send em to the offending manager/proc owner with a message that says
"I Applied KISS principle, much better now"
I do hate working at home because I like the interaction even if it's unhinged at times  |
I am the only one here of 400 people that got called out specifically for my communication.
Our CEO likes direct and to the point type communications. She said I was a little too direct. Not a bad way, but I did need to use more words. Later I gave a nice little informative speech at a directors retreat and everyone was taken aback that I know all these fancy, non-IT words. I asked if they ever saw Quigley Down Under. I said "Never said I didn't know how to use them, just didn't have much use for 'em".
