...I recognize for those who do think about it, it's pretty serious.

My last boss was a woman who would rip your fucking hand off.
Every time I had to introduce her to new staff that I'd hired between
evaluation visits I would warn them so they'd be prepared lol.

Clammy or sweaty palms bother me.

I note calloused palms in a positive light. I could be wrong, but I
assume that person's hard-working.

and a weak handshake is an insult to me. So I am firm handshake and eye contact all day. I expect the energy I put out so, yes. Important to me.

its importance becomes more prevalent as the stakes get higher or the people are further up the chain.

Y'all buy those labels, I was born supreme

but there is always that one dude who stops short so they can try to break your hand.

those dudes are always a little off.

across as passive and a pushover. CAnt take you seriously

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

....but I know it matters to others so I make sure mine is on point.

Idk, it's one of those things I don't buy as being a solid indicator of anything other than their ability to shake a hand. *shrug*

But I blame my dad in a way. He had HULK hands. I have no idea what type of damage he caused with them prior to my birth, but he never handled my punishments, or ever gave me a really firm handshake. And of course growing up, it's mostly daps with friends and such, so I never had to give a proper handshake until I had a summer job. My supervisor at my summer job straight up told me to give firmer handshakes.


You will remember me one way or the other.
