Nick Khan: ‘Hey, I’m Tired,’ Drives Me Crazy. Everyone Is Tired
Nick Khan is not a fan of out-of-office replies, which are automated emails or texts that get sent if someone tries to message while you might be out of the office and away.
“I just don’t understand why any human would do that,” Khan said on The Varisty with John Ourand.
He continued, “Basically, if someone emails you, it’s typically because they need a question answered or they need something. It’s in our hiring practice, you know Chris Legentil, who is not only our head of comms [communication], but our head of talent. Chris is never an out-of-office guy. If you call Chris Legentil at 3 AM, he’ll answer on the first ring and say, ‘Hey, what’s up?’ In addition to out-of-office email replies that drive me crazy, the ‘Hey, I’m tired.’ That drives me crazy. Everyone is tired. ‘I’m so busy.’ I read an article years ago, ‘I’m busy is a way of saying I’m important,’ which I get, so assume everyone is busy. You’re busy every day. Are there days where you’re like, ‘No one has texted me, I don’t have anything to do.’ It just doesn’t work that way. No out-of-office replies here. No, ‘I’m busy.’ No, ‘I’m tired.'”
Nick Khan is the president of WWE.
