E Mail etiquette

[Old Greg]

Photoshop an image of him hanging from a lamppost and email it to him, cc-ing everyone else. Then lean over and ask if he saw your email.

[doodab]

but the chief emailer, always asks me , 'did you see that email'

I say no. When they ask why, I tell them it's either cos I turn my email off to avoid distraction or I have a rule that files everything they send into a folder called 'useless crap'. Depending on my mood.

"No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, millions of electrons were greatly inconvenienced."

"Please consider the environment before printing^Hwasting disk space with unnecessary signature text."

[mudskipper]

Tell them you do not reply because you are concerned about our planet.

Can't be arsed to Google it but the power consumption caused by unecessary emails around the world must be enough to power a small city.

I keep getting copied in to emails that I dont have to action in any way.

He is spreading the blame.

Run away !

[SimonMac]

Any email that I am only CC'd in there is an out look rule which hives them off into a separate folder to read another time

[bobspud]

Just hit reply all and ask him to either quantify what he needs you to know or do or take you off the chain.

Abject humiliation normally works really well.

[KentPhilip]

It's about CYA.

Which in EO's case is a big one

[MaryPoppins]

I keep getting copied in to emails that I dont have to action in any way. The info is not really relevant to my role.
I really hate to reply, copying everyone in, saying 'ooooh, thanks for that'

but the chief emailer, always asks me , 'did you see that email'

what do you do ?
increase the world supply of emails by x10
or
ignore the ******

?

I'm working with that guy! Sits opposite me. Sends rambling and irrelevant emails to tons of people, including me. Hits send then leans over with 'Mary...Mary....hey, Mary? Mary? Did you see that email I just sent?'

I always say no.

[MarillionFan]

Hate people that do that, normally arselickers in my world that want it to look like they are doing something when infact they are not
