My wife remains adamant that there is a correlation between how much thought you put into your text and how much you proofread it, and how good of a person you are. She’s an English teacher, so that might have something to do with it.
Empathy I’d say, you intend for another to perceive and understand the message. Also would be a strong sign of emotional intelligence.
Used to work with a billionaire. Can confirm.
One thing all super rich people seem to do is end their emails with the most basic signature. Like just their initials in lowercase or something.
I’m perfectly okay with the signature thing. Way better than the mandatory giant product banner and contact information “signatures” that are injected into our emails where I work.
Same exact principle as how many of them like to dress in jeans and t-shirts. They think that it demonstrates that they’re so significant and intrinsically powerful that they’ve transcended the need to signal wealth and power. But it’s really just another level of signaling: trying to signal that they don’t need to signal, which is in some way even more poser-ish and pathetic
If dressing flashy is signaling wealth and dressing down is a subtler signal of transcendental wealth and power, then what should they wear?
The other commenter has a point. Maybe they’re just wearing what they really want to, idunno. They should wear whatever they want. But the fact that they all ubiquitously have started to address casual in the last couple of years makes me doubt that that’s what they want. On the other hand, I don’t see billionaires as being the type of tasteful people who would care to commission custom clothes or anything artistic that expresses themselves, etc etc.
I would say their actions are a better measure of character than their clothing
Well, yes, of course I agree

At least they thamked you.
They don’t have to write correctly. Nobody will dare to correct them. The burden to decipher what they mean is entirely on you. You - on the other hand - may lose your job if your sloppily written email ends up in the wrong inbox.
I’d go crazy if I worked with someone writing like that and sending emails with an empty subject.
Usually applied to people making ludicrous political arguments, but also feels a bit relevant here:
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Dude don’t make me defend billionaires crimes are kinda fun. I ain’t never done that kind of crime, I don’t like hurting people unless it’s their ears with raucous jazz, but haven’t you ever wanted to have Chinese takeout on a picnic blanket at a park that closes at dark at midnight? Fuck I didn’t have time to go buy red spice delicious block today.
How many weed have you injected today?
I just like committing gay crimes is all.
And like all of them
