My guess is that people should ask their friends/colleagues/acquaintances for help with things a few times a week, and ask senior people they don’t know for help with things a few times a year. T
Is this a few times each person, or a few times total? It’s hard for me to tell because either seems slightly off to me.
I meant like maybe 3-15 times total (“few” was too ambiguous to be a good word choice).
Writing that out maybe I want to change it to 3-30 (the top end of which doesn’t feel quite like “a few”). And I can already feel how I should be giving more precise categories // how taking what I said literally will mean not doing enough asking in some important circumstances, even if I stand by my numbers in some important spiritual sense.
Anyway I’m super interested to get other people’s guesses about the right numbers here. (Perhaps with better categories.)
Sure that makes more sense to me. I was previously reading “few” as 2-4 times, and was thinking that’s way too few times to be asking for help from coworkers total in a week, but a bit too high to be asking (many) specific senior people for help each year.
