I answer this question — and three others — over at Inc. today, where I’m revisiting letters that have been buried in the archives here from years ago (and sometimes updating/expanding my answers to them). You can read it here.
Other questions I’m answering there today include:
- Employees say “I love you”
- Asking coworkers to stop commenting on my diet
- Should I write employee evaluations in the third person?
