I’m not putting myself anywhere on his level - want to make that clear - but I was specifically referring to clarity.

I work with execs at our company a lot and am often in their email chains - agree on the lingo and shorthand for stuff, but it’s usually clear. You’d be surprised at how candid people are and how much cussing there can be lol. But I was specifically referring to the clarity of the message.

Either way it’s just an opinion and as I said, I think I was just idealizing too much and expected something else.

Yeah, I got you. I understood you were just expressing shock at how unclear this was and I totally hear you. I was just commenting that this is surprisingly more common than you might think. It could also very well be that Satya is a worse emailer than most. Or it could be that he fired this off while jetsetting or running late to a meeting. Who knows.

So, is this common, or is this worse than most?
