If you work in an office you can likely relate to this phenomenon.
People send emails about any and everything ... I'm really curious as to what happened prior to email in the workplace.
-Were there constant announcements over the office PA system like in elementary school?
-Did they have meetings and huddles any time there was cake in the break room or someone left their lights on, or there was a bake sale in the cafeteria?
-Was there an office messenger boy who went from department to department carrying messages like old yellar or the town crier?
I am genuinely curious about this.
The interesting thing is that, the messages you receive are not of a time sensitive nature, nor are they all that important or pertinent to you as an employee or individual.
This is why, when I come back from vacation to a sea of emails, instead of diving in and sifting through the rubble, I simple hold down the delete button until there's nothing left.
Don't even get me started on voicemail!
