You’re writing a note to a colleague asking to have a “quick sync” to make a “game-time decision” on a “rock star” candidate you’re sure will “give 110 percent” to the job. Few things are as potentially confusing (or grating) as jargon in business writing. It’s true that jargon can sometimes be a convenient shorthand when you’re communicating quickly to someone you’re pretty sure will understand you.

What is your work worth? In traditional wage-labor relationships (aka “normal jobs”), your work is worth whatever your boss says it is worth. In most instances, you’re compensated for your time, which means efficiency and growth are disincentivized. If you’re hourly, you make more if you work slower. If you’re salaried, the more efficient you are, the more work is assigned.
