Rick Meyers? Maybe.
I remember recruiting HR guys in the auto parts industry. They hated the shouting and swearing that was the common, everyday practice in that field. And, they wanted to change it because they didn't believe that that level of aggression made for a productive workplace.
Mr Moustache takes the same approach to corporate communications. Rick Myers of TalentZoo and Don JGo Jason Goldberg of Jobster like to trash their competition in public. Moustache calls it the low road. But is it?
Isn't there room, at least in the corporate world, for guys who say "Wanted Dead or Alive" or "Bring 'em on"? They're not shooting anybody. They're just making life a lot more fun.
I believe that there are mistakes made in communications. Matt Damon should never have dumped Minnie Driver on Oprah before telling her in person. But, heck, most corporate communications are so dull that I would call them life destroying. The crap I get on my desk is enervating to read.
So what's wrong with a guy who wants to punch it up with his foes? At least I know what he's saying. Whereas you'd prefer that he say nothing at all. Ya big sissy.
Note: Mr Moustache has an interesting blog. I recommend it. He likes to write detailed and cutting critiques. He just doesn't want other people to have fun. More on this later.
