As a side note, I like how direct and casual these megacorp CEO emails are.

In my experience, if your executives are communicating in corporate PR speak internally, it means you’re surrounded by grifters and people who have failed upward.

Speaking directly and clearly is a core skill of successful executives. Corporate PR speak only interferes with conveying direct and clear internal messages. You aren’t worried about accidentally offending the people you work with, you’re more worried about not getting your point across as directly as possible.

I'd argue corporate PR speak directly and purposefully interferes with conveying any kind of message clearly. It often skirts the line between misleading and lying. And obviously you don't want to poison your own well with lies.

Which is really bad when you do something that later becomes part of a lawsuit

In academia too, when you pass a certain threshold of seniority, your emails become like this:

```

FROM: $ProfBigShot

TO: $PoorPhDStudent

Come visit me tomorrow at 2pm

Sent from my iPhone

```

Don't forget that the prof will almost certainly misspell the PhD student's name!

Why wouldn’t they be?

I guess it just feels different from the corporate speak we’d usually see

The cliche of "celebs--they're just like us" has some truth to it.

These guys probably answer dozens of emails per day

And spend the rest of the day golfing.

And they use stock symbols instead of company names like any other presumptuous user of this site.
