| Jan 19, 2011 at 10:55 | comment | added | Display Name | @normaderWhat that is a detailed explanation, however its very (to ) hard to find yourself in it. I'll explain with example. second paragraph:"Before I start though note that the PM is most likely giving you grief, " very nice to know, but that has nothing to do with the hole paragraph (if i was only reading it i would skip the hole thing). a better way to put the start of the paragraph is "There are ways to avoid the situation you described" three lines down. but its berried down with all the emotional review, which is nice to have, but must be separated as they are different subjects. | |

I know it was a loooong post, and it won't always be like that but this was a topic dear to my heart - enough to turn from long time listener to first time caller. I only bolded to mark out where to go for the counter strategy & skip the guff. Plus I used paragraphs the way the English language was designed before the internet even ;-) You can just scan the first line of each one to get a general jist. | |

Part of a manager's job is to be an umbrella to shield you from that - but even great managers have leaky umbrellas if the rain falls hard and fast enough. | |
