susandennisI work for a small start up company. But we've got some people who think that if we pretend we are a big bureaurcatic outfit we will get more business? Be cooler? Generate revenue? Their latest edict is that the following paragraph be attached to every single piece of email that leaves the company.

I think, in a nutshell, it says 'here is a company that thinks it's a big fucking deal and everyone cares so they are positioning themselves for a really big law suit and hope you can join in.'

Date: 2003-01-06 10:25 pm (UTC)also.... putting stuff like that on email makes the receivers of such back off... and not want to do business or respond or such... I found when I handed someone a model release to sign with all the legal information, it would intimidate and they wouldn't sign... I made it nice and simple and don't have any problems... the intent is what's important...
I'd rather see on the highways "drive friendly" like the signs used to say here rather than the demanding signs now being displayed... like "litter and it will hurt" and they then put the amount of the fine on the sign... someone's idea of being cute...
Peace

the before stated comment was only my opinion and may be changed at any time by me or anyone else who might have access to my account. It should not be considered confirmation of a contract or other obligation in any way and if someone does misquoute me or try to obligate me or otherwise make me look bad or whatever.... stick it... it's not nice to mess with other folks minds or funds... if you do, bad karma will get you, mother nature can be a bitch and gravity sucks... wanna prove it? just mess with me...
the before stated disclaimer and
threatspromises were meant to discourage anyone wanting to defame or otherwise...be nice
Peace
Ha!!
