Issue #12

Fellow Apple Employees:
I wanted to address a few points with you all about written communication.
Obviously, Apple is a very technologically advanced company that wants to keep up with all of the needs in the communication world. With such a broad range of written communication nowadays, it may be hard to differentiate which type to use and when. Let me set a few things straight for anyone wondering.
If you are addressing myself or a person of a higher rank in our company than you, please send an email or write a letter. This is the professional way to do things and I feel that it is the best way to make a request or statement to someone in a higher rank than you.
If you are addressing someone at the same level or below yourself, it is a judgment call. Anytime you are in a professional situation, an email is the most suitable form of communication. However, if you simply need to send a quick message or request, we are not at all against shooting them a text or picture message. I simply advise you to use your phones for work purposes while at work.
Thanks,
Steve Jobs
