Do partners read Skype messages? I have a sneaking suspicion that they do!! Thoughts?

They don’t want to know what people are talking about, but if anything you’re saying is that juicy you should probably stop messaging by a method that logs anyway.

This is one reason why I keep my skype messaging completely off. I'm more likely to say something stupid than in an email. Plus, Skype just pure sucks...logs in and out all the time losing whole chains of messages and you can't keep stuff. Just send me an email.

As a senior I now understand why partners rarely use chat. It’s distracting and many people use it for questions they could answer themselves with a bit of effort. I don’t have time for that.

Seriously. Plus, it's infuriating to have a long string of stuff and then either accidentally close out or the system fucks up. Everything is archived in my email so I can look back at it later.

No. Also don't care if they did.

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.

Is the same true for tech trans or IP group?
