If you're a STEM person on my team that cannot write in a coherent and precise fashion, I am going to find you and you had better pray you're worth retraining, because this is a non-negotiable part of any technical career you could hope to have.

If you want regular promotions, probably watch your spelling too.

Where do you work? Are you hiring?

I sincerely wish that this was the norm, but my experience has been that, on average, people with the word "engineer" in their degree can't be bothered with such piddling details as spelling and grammar.

I cofounded a small tech shop in flyover country. Mostly fitness and music stuff. Not hiring at the moment, but if you do native mobile, hit me up, we do a lot of stuff and it's only a matter of time before I need another native guy. We do remote-- you gotta be able to write an email.
