Thanking someone in a slack can be perceived as sarcastic.
An apology doesn’t resonate as much in an email than in person.
Saying “I love you” may check a box if it’s in text format, but it’s a world of difference to say it face-to-face.
Giving candor to a colleague will lead to performance changes faster if it’s done via a Google meet than through a written performance review module.
Funny how this list could go on and on; and it’s all the important stuff.
Stay Positive & Which Scenario Are You Opting For
p.s. the exception here may just be a handwritten note mailed. That sometimes carries more impact than something said in person. Oh, the irony.
