Hey, @APMPUK: given Elon Musk's new styling for business names, are you going to have to change your events to BidXX?

One of my office team - who works part-time - received an aggressive email before 9am from a bid/proposal person chasing for a reply to an email they'd sent her moments before 5pm on Friday. They obviously missed the bit on the #APMP course when I talked about wellbeing.

Amazing.
Also: the perfect illustration of life as a consultant!

The building's home to the Quakers, and we're in the Abraham Darby room - which made me smile, as my dad was one of the very first people to take school trips to @IronbridgeGMT when its open-air museum opened 50 years ago this year. - Jon

So the @APMPUK conference is in October. Who's going to break the news to them that the zombies will have taken over by then?

Lots of very sound advice in this thread.

Just hired a 21yo for their first job. What basic professional advice do they need? Here's what I tell all my new staff, but perhaps you can add. I'll start small.
1/ Use an online calendar. Have a foolproof system of reminders, so you never forget a deadline or obligation.

Is it OK to laugh aloud at this, or would that be tasteless?

I suggested an 'anti-ghosting contract' on LinkedIn earlier, that you can ask people to sign when they ask you for a pitch or proposal to formalise their promise that they’ll actually get back to you afterwards.
@alistair_vince shared his approach with clients & I really like it

Someone took a screenshot of one of my tweets and emailed it to my work demanding they fire me. It eventually ended up on the CEO’s desk. After long discussion with me (CEO), I chose to not fire myself.
