Because we at Harlot understand the mayhem of holiday season, we’ve decided to help out by extending the deadline for our special issue–“Rhetoric at Work”– to January 15th, 2010. So now it’s not only an opportunity to reflect on how persuasion is functioning in your own line of work, but a great way to take a break from the family and all those damn festivities!
What persuasive techniques do you use to accomplish your job? What kinds of moves work best (or worst) on different audiences? How does the boss seek to motivate you… and why does/doesn’t it work? Anything, um, curious about the way your company promotes itself? What types of workplace communication annoy the hell out of you?
Got an idea for article that you’d like to run past us? Questions about the issue’s theme? Don’t hesitate to write us at harlot.osu@gmail.com.
We look forward to hearing from you.
