The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Fokke de Jong no published score: no usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q I mean, I'm totally sympathetic to you. Like, I would have been pissed, but that is a, an amateur move, right? To open a store where there, it's not zoned for that. Like, you should have known.

A Yeah, I should have known. Well, I mean, how could I have known that? Because next to me, there was two units, right? I was also like, I can't believe this. This is actually true, right? Because it was so obvious that it should have been zoned for retail. And I went to the municipality, and I, I just wanted to see the plans. I wanted to see the blueprints. And I got to, I said, well, you can go there, just wait for you in this little room, and we'll bring you the blueprints, and then you could sit in that room and went over these big pile of blueprints. And then I saw that one of my building, and it said exactly, that unit next to us said, with, with, with pencil, it was written in there, it said store, and my unit said nothing. And so then I thought, ok, I, I took a pen, I practiced as long as I could, To, you know, have almost the same handwriting as the unit where it was store written in, and I just penciled store in my unit. And then I went back to the municipality and said, but guys, what do you mean on these, these blueprints it says store? I said, oh, oh, ok. Oh, we didn't know.

Q the argument is that, you know, this is going to give you exposure to a whole new world and how big corporation runs, and it's going to give you insights and connections that, you know, that might help you build your own business, right? So I know you decided to leave, but do you think that if you had stayed at P&G for longer, that, that might have been beneficial?

A No, I don't think so. Um, you know, what are you gonna learn in an organization like that is, you know, first of all, 50, 60% of the, of the effort in an organization like that goes to the political process, right? Positioning yourself well and all that kind of stuff. It's not, it's not just doing stuff, right? There's a whole other thing that, that, that goes along with it. And there's also a risk, right? Uh, comfortably, you know, you might think, okay, this is great. I make some money, et cetera. And are you actually then going to make the jump five years from now when you're beginning your thirties, you make this nice salary, you bought this house, you met your first, you know, wife or a friend, or, you know, are you then going to make the jump? And the question is how relevant is the, are those experiences of being in a big company, right? They're probably very relevant at some point if you have Your own company, that's really big, but at the beginning, you know, they're not, I don't think they're relevant. The most things you learn are about just doing stuff.
