Okay, first things first, be kind!!!๐
Alrightโฆ quick confession from the โprobably sounded like a weird idea at the timeโ files.
For a few weeks we actually asked our own crew not to read something weโd worked on for 4 specific projects. Yep, felt about as natural as telling Aussies not to check the cricket score, or turn-off the telly during footy. You get my drift!
But we needed clean, unbiased audience data, and the team legends humoured us (eye-rolls, twisted faces fully justified). They've been absolute champs for sticking with it, begrudgingly I may add!
Anyway... I digress.
Experiment done, insights in hand, and the unofficial reading ban has been lifted. And, no they do not need to read things during their break. Not our style. They are to use company time to read and feel free to respond to the work and it's author as they please.
Fair warning to the 4 project owners though ... if inbox activity suddenly jumpsโฆ just assume some previously restrained enthusiasm has been let off the leash.
Cheers for playing along, folks, you made the whole thing a lot easier. ๐ฅฐ
Humbly, August
