Used to work with a billionaire. Can confirm.
One thing all super rich people seem to do is end their emails with the most basic signature. Like just their initials in lowercase or something.
Same exact principle as how many of them like to dress in jeans and t-shirts. They think that it demonstrates that they're so significant and intrinsically powerful that they've transcended the need to signal wealth and power. But it's really just another level of signaling: trying to signal that they don't need to signal, which is in some way even more poser-ish and pathetic
I'm perfectly okay with the signature thing. Way better than the mandatory giant product banner and contact information "signatures" that are injected into our emails where I work.
Where I work people have started doing the short signature immediately before the giant contact info signature.
I think it's asinine but literally every email I've gotten from someone outside my team in the last two weeks has done it, so now I'm doing it too lest someone think I'm being rude or some shit.
At work I don't write a text signature at all. My contact info is in the header already. If they demand a signature, then it's going to be a detached GPG signature.
That makes email threads much more difficult to parse, it's useful to be able to tell when an email ends and who sent it.
That's in the headers!
