        @avantgame @Slate Because purposely interrupting people instead of focusing on the task is a great way to progress your professional career?

        @StevenBeynon @Slate you read the part where the more senior/promoted you were the more you interrupted? who's going to fire the boss?

        @avantgame @stevenbeynon @slate 1) interruption doesn't have to mean arrogance, but def a sign of power, 2) what about clear gendering here?

        @avantgame @Slate I used to interrupt like mad. Felt rude but I was just enthusiastic. Bosses appreciate enthusiasm: Manners can be taught.

        @avantgame Not that people wouldn't appreciate them. They just would be seen as "weak" and "womanly", so considered to be ok where they are

        @avantgame I've had many cases of extremely capable women that would not be aggressive in meetings. Result? Never promoted.

        @avantgame Of course. Interruption is a power play and assertion of oneself. If a woman does not show this strength, she'll be assumed weak

        @avantgame @Slate Really great read. Of the 4 AAA studios I've worked at, my experience is that this is true (more or less) in all of them.

        .@avantgame so unsurprising. I wouldn't encourage interrupting as a way to solve the problem though. It'll perpetuate bad communication

        @avantgame People who interrupt get their points across and exude passion. It can be annoying but it can also be beneficial.
