Re: The Problem With Keeping It Plain And Simple?

I got this once, from a couple of engineering managers
whose own correspondence clearly indicated they 
couldn't write a coherent paragraph if their lives
depended on it.  It was one of the things that helped
me decide it was time to leave that company.

At my current company, during my first week there
a Marketing VP spent about a half hour explaining
to me the technical principles behind the company's 
flagship product.  When he was done he asked if I
had any questions, and to be sure I did understand
I said, "So if I understand you correctly, it is...."
His reply was, "Yes, you've got it, and you just said
in three sentences what it took me a half hour to say.
I'm really happy you're here."

Obviously, I'm a lot happier to be here than I was 
there.
