I shared a deck with some slides (which marked as work in progress). I specifically verbally mentioned it’s not final. Will the communication receiver use it against me and hold me accountable? Coworker grilled me today because of this.

What do you mean, “grilled” you because of it?

Was this shared with the client or the project team?

If it was shared with the client, it might require some more sensitivity but even the, it's fine unless there is something on there they explicitly shouldn't see or is really far from being client ready.

It depends on the people you’re working with honestly and whether this was shared internally or with the client. Some people are very picky about this. Don’t show them something until it’s complete.
Also if it’s shared with the client it’s best not to have placeholders. You generally don’t want to share something with the client until it’s in a good first draft.
But again depends on the situation really. I always try to avoid sending anything with placeholders. Some nasty people held it against me a couple of times so now I don’t do it.

I send my client half-assed partially complete trash products all the time to make sure we are on the right track, it’s perfectly fine. It’s better to get input on something that took 30 minutes to make than to spend hours on something that’s not correct

I’m not old BUT when I was younger I thought it was important to have all the alphabets after my name (I.e. Phr, SHRM and all the others). I learning that the younger crowd coming into the market thrives off these identifiers yet they know very little about the real world aspects of the job. I watch leadership roll their eyes at the email footers. I feel like keeping those attached to my name hurts my credibility so I removed them…. I’m I thinking wrong?
