Daily employee newsletter 🤢
I don't even read the monthly ones my company puts out, daily must be soulcrushingly tedious?
It''s a state-owned company so everything is really by the book. They're obsessive about unofficial information circulating around. And another thing that bothers me a lot is that most managers see it as a way to promote themselves: something like saying to the board of directors "look at me, I'm doing stuff, can you give me a higher managerial position?"
Ladder climbers and empire builders are a cancer
even without a newsletter this is the case. Middle managers mostly are about making whatever their team or section or division or whatever is absolutely critical to the company.
The target audience for newsletters and dashboards and analytics is not people actually doing work, it's people who talk about other people's work.
i used to have to do something like this and the soulcrushing happens when you get yelled at by several people because a sentence is 61 characters instead of 60 or a logo isn't the exact shade of a gold.
This. Everyone knows better than you how to do your job.
