Got told my emails were way too long, now I keep them under 5 sentences
My boss pulled me aside last Tuesday and said my 8 paragraph email to the client was overwhelming. She told me to stick to the key points only, no fluff. Now I write the first draft, cut it in half, then cut again until it's short. Has anyone else had to change their writing style for work?

Sounds like a nothingburger honestly.

@ben486 totally hit the nail on the head though. People get all worked up over these little news blips and then a week later nobody even remembers what happened. Take that whole thing with the mayor's parking space last month - everyone was screaming about ethics violations and turns out it was just a clerical error. Media loves to blow smoke and get clicks, but half this stuff fizzles out before you even finish your morning coffee.
