Losing Friends With Email
Bert Webb’s one-stop guide on How to Lose Friends and Alienate People With Email is worth a read. My top ten:
- Ramble when you write
- Use an inappropriate subject line
- Use all caps/ use no caps
- CC everyone you can imagine, especially their superior
- Use a lot of sarcasm and off-beat humor in your email
- Use plenty of acronyms and buzzwords
- Send repeated corrections
- Use the “Urgent” flag often
- Write your email to one person and send it to someone else
- Forward messages but don’t say why you did
