  • I hate to defend it. But considering he was trying to present an analogy his peers could understand, I get it. You can build a bigger pipe, add more pipes, or push the water faster. It's not far off the mark in that respect to the analogy.

    And you're right about exclusion of networking principles. You could build a very convoluted model of water distribution using networking rules.

  • With a lot of people using free email services, most have some report button. What this does is flag the specific email as potential spam that you specifically do not want to see. With enough people doing that, the probability of the email and subsequently the source domain being spam and spam generators goes up. High probability means the emails may end up in the spam folder without hitting your inbox.

    There's a bit of fine tuning email marketing can do to mitigate that, like not sending emails too frequently. But that's not a passive thing they can do, which is why there are teams devoted to email marketing specifically at some companies.

    The worst thing for a marketeer is to be dumped in spam. No one will ever see it or any future emails.

  • I saw it happen once when I was young team lead. I had a number of people that worked on my team.

    One day I was asked how many people we would need if we stopped doing one task. I was to naive to put two and two together.

    A short time later I heard the ops manager talking to someone about offering the people they planned to get rid of other work with the express intent of avoiding paying out unemployment.

    I couldn't really do anything at that point other than warn my people, which I did. I found something else a short while later. I made sure to tell management why I was quitting, which was a long list of issues including them fucking over good people.
