I just learned this! Iconic red and white Campbell's soup can, kept in the new redesign, was inspired by Cornell football uniforms. @CREarle @cornell

ChatGPT is stepping up my volunteer work! It's helping me write policies for an employee handbook in a conversational style and gave me lists of potential partners for another organization.

This is excellent! So much information distilled for faculty to use immediately. Thanks, Abram, for leading in this space.

@LMNFundraising @NYSLabor Oh, no.

[Amy Newman @AmyXNewman]

Great advice for new grads to navigate comm tech tools at work. My pick: Start emails with your main point.

The @OversightDems hearing about @McKinsey's role in the #opioid crisis is a fascinating study of persuasive communication and character. @CongressmanRaja's line of questioning about Juul raised issues of humility, integrity, and accountability. https://t.co/p4ecB3vvdL

Surprised to see @Avis agents using MS-DOS and dot-matrix printers. No wonder we waited on line for more than an hour but glad to get a car. Not everyone did. @MIA

Could @Boeing show a little more compassion? I understand not taking responsibility before the investigation is completed, but this statement could come from an actual person. What communication and character lessons were learned since 2020?

At one of my favorite @Cornell events. Amazing. @cornellyamatai

[Amy Newman @AmyXNewman]

@smccannon I agree. Maybe employers care even less than I thought about good writing.

[Amy Newman @AmyXNewman]

Decline in cover letters. I get it, but I'm sad about losing another business writing genre. Shocking to me: "only 38% of candidates attach cover letters to their applications even when it is requested."

@LMNFundraising As a faculty member, I can't imagine advising a student to skip it if requested.

I find an insecure manager to be the toughest, sometimes manifesting as control and requiring "loyalty" no matter what. When it crossed ethical lines for me, I had to quit.

[Harvard Business Review @HarvardBiz]

Does your manager belittle your accomplishments? https://t.co/n2Z46qf5y8

Looking forward to my second workshop with @TheAESC about leadership character. Last week, we talked about hiring for character as well as competencies. Great discussion!

Finally turned off the AdChoices personalization setting and then saw an ad I'm actually interested in.

Just finished Philip Roth’s “Nemesis,”which my dad recommended before he died in 2018. I have a short list of movies from him, too, and wish I had more.

[Amy Newman @AmyXNewman]

Great question and thread. With two @Cornell colleagues, I'm writing a business communication conference proposal about guidance for students during the job search. Thank you!

[Rachael Sullivan @rachaelsullivan]

does anyone know if there is any research along the lines of the thread below but specifically about "professional" document design (e.g. resumés). I'm thinking Kinross "Rhetoric of Neutrality" or Nichols "Type Reveals Culture" or Anne Wysocki... #womeninTC #teamrhetoric

[Amy Newman @AmyXNewman]

Here's hope for people overwhelmed by emails and texts. Reframe "ghosting" as "triage" and read @profbohns' useful study about perceived urgency.

Fun article to read as I wait for "Business Communication and Character" (11e) to print this month! @CengageLearning https://t.co/9SKZfGRBcH
