Bob ran the invoices for twenty-two years. Then he retired on a Friday, and by Tuesday nobody could open the spreadsheet.This week it's a solo episode: three essays from the Radical Competency lane of my Substack, All the Fits That's News, read back to back for the first time. On their own they're about a small business I ran for fourteen years, a guy named Bob and my first newsroom job on the obituary desk in 1991. Together they turn out to be the same story, told three ways: the operating instructions we write without noticing, and what keeps running after we've stopped paying attention or left the building for good.In this episode:You Teach People How to Treat You. How four years of answering client texts at midnight taught me more about human behavior than any business degree, and why the fortune-cookie version of that phrase does real damage.Après Nous, le Déluge (aka The Bus Factor). Madame de Pompadour, knowledge hoarding and the difference between being valuable and being a countdown clock.Spell the Name Right. One sentence in a file on a green screen at the Tulsa World, passed reporter to reporter for more than thirty years. The best argument I've got for what work is actually for.Read the essays:You Teach People How to Treat YouAprès Nous, le DélugeSpell the Name RightSubscribe to All the Fits That's News, free or paid.
