      Everyone should do this at least twice when they are a student, once to have the experience of doing it and one to realize it works *without* announcing you have a student’s special permission to try doing it.https://twitter.com/Graham__Duncan/status/1182116496631316480 …

      One time for an intro finance class in college, I was analyzing the financial statements of Domino’s Pizza and there was some weird line item I didn’t understand so I called the corporate line, asked for the CFO and they put me through!

      I think people persistently overestimate how many folks want to get in touch with decisionmakers, particularly decisionmakers one or two hops from limelight, and underestimate where they are viz the bar of being interesting enough to warrant N minutes of time.

      Replying to @patio11

      When we were working on the hard drive blending project, I was *amazed* at the kind of access and information my intern could get. "How'd you find that out?" "Oh, I called OSHA and asked."

      My mental model for the person picking up the phone at OSHA is "HOLY AMAZEBALLS SOMEONE WANTED TO ASK ABOUT MATERIALS SAFETY MY TUESDAY IS MADE AND IT IS ONLY 10 AM."

          That was definitely the approximate attitude of my FEMA-employed friend whose brain I spent several hours picking for the same project

          Given the work we were doing, it was definitely the kind of story that they could tell around the watercooler for weeks.
