Does Anyone Else Use "Laconic Speech" In The Office?

[Anonymous No.28484821]

Laconic speech is basically where you try to use as few words as possible to convey a point. When I was a summer someone told me that I should be more "concise" with my thoughts, so I committed to speaking laconically 24/7.
For example, if the MD asks a multi-paragraph question I will often answer with "Thanks ___. Yes." or no, depending on the question. I've been doing this for months, but often times the questions being asked are too complex for one or two word answers. I still commit to it - I follow up with one or two words, but i've had periods where the seniors fly off the handle and seem to be very angry with me after ~5 or so rounds of back and forth short answers. I've also heard some of my fellow juniors accuse me of being autistic (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Has anyone here ever encountered this? How did you react? I want to be concise, but I also don't want to anger people. Thanks all!

This sounds awful and I'd hate to work with you. Use your words properly. A lot more is communicated in conversation than just words, and talking like this will always make you sound like a dick. Autistic people don't understand that kind of subtle communication, so no wonder your juniors feel that way

You only can be laconic if you’re in a position of power.
Unfortunately you’ll have to stop roleplaying, or learn how to have power.
The number of words you use correlates to your position in the hierarchy.

One of my clients uses few words. At first I thought he was unhapoy with my work, but he just likes efficient communication, and doesn't play into phony back and forth. It is very enjoyable to do business with him. Don't be afraid to be laconic OP, people worth your time will figure it out and appreciate you for it.

[Anonymous No.28485936]

The word laconic is derived from Lakonia, the historical region of Greece that housed the city state of Sparta. Spartans were known for their warrior culture, and did not care much for words, hence, laconic speech.

Marriage in Sparta was compulsory, so much so that any man above the age of 35 who had not yet married was subjected to a special tax and ostracized from certain social gatherings.

Most interestingly, however, is the fact that the wives in Spartan marriages were heavily encouraged to cuck their husbands, and did at an extremely high rate. Spartan warrior culture needed only one thing - fit an strong soldiers. Thus, the fittest and strongest soldiers impregnated all the wives of the lesser men, with the blessing of these lesser men.

You are emulating the first culture that institutionalized cuckolding. Congrats OP.

Concise means don’t ramble. Not some autistic middle school syndrome laconic bullshit. He meant keep emails to 3 sentences, verbal responses to 1 that is direct to the point with just enough detail. Also if you don’t learn to small talk to extrovert you are ngmi. Just read the room.

You gotta have power, being concise is also a matter of context. Sometimes with a broad topic being concise still means conveying a large amount of information

Louis XIV was a man of very few words. His infamous "I shall see" was one of several extremely short phrases that he would apply to all manner of requests. Louis was not always this way; as a young man he was known for talking at length, delighting in his own eloquence. His later taciturnity was self-imposed, an act, a mask he used to keep everybody below him off-balance. No one knew exactly where he stood, or could predict his reactions. No one could try to deceive him by saying what they thought he wanted to hear, because no one knew what he wanted to hear. As they talked on and on to the silent Louis, they revealed more and more about themselves, information he would later use against them to great effect. In the end, Louis's silence kept those around him terrified and under his thumb. It was one of the foundations of his power. As Saint-Simon wrote, "No one knew as well as he how to sell his words, his smile, even his glances. Everything in him was valuable because he created differences, and his majesty was enhanced by the sparseness of his words."

Given your pointedly enquiring concerning the subject at hand I am extremely compelled to precisely elaborate in both length and scope over the range of the intricacies across this rather complex multiple endeavor which naturally conveys subtleties of meaning in ways which might be themselves varied at times, alluding to a multitude of both minor as well as major myriads of tasks and approaches, all of which require immediate contemplation of intermediate matters along the expenditure of resources in order to inherently intrinsically engage in succinctly responses at an optimally available time frame within the given overall scheduled parameters of engagement in the company.

[Anonymous No.28487983]

I'll try my best to give serious advice but I don't have any good advice to give. It's a paradox. Whether you know what you're talking about or not, most officers will assume you don't. The more words you speak, the higher chance there is of them finding an excuse to call you s dumbass to the other higher-ups. This is only a problem if you're on an actual career path. if you know your stay I'd temporary, who gives a fuck.

In general, yes, it's better to be shorter. Don't just say yes or they'll think you're a psycho or not think anything of you. In two sentences you can communicate "yes i understand what you're saying, yes i will do this, yes i validate the stupid opinion you just told me." Anything else is extra and they'll think you're trying too hard.
