On a normal business day.

I work for a large company, and the number of bullshite emails I get on a given day is out of control. Do you think it's possible to take this up with some managerial people to try and decrease the number of nuisance emails?

Is it normal to get 50+ emails a day? It definitely makes me miss important info.

I get about 400~500 per day. not only I have to reply to them, I have to make sure that recipient have received them and reply back to me. collaborating with other people who don't give a frick sucks arse.

Goddamn. I would walk into traffic. I already get annoyed when I see I have a new one. It's impossible to keep up with

What do you do

35-50 but the owner of the company frowns upon the mass bullshite emails.

Since most of my business is in the Middle East, it's very common for me to have 200+ emails on Monday. It gradually declines throughout the week and Thurs/Fri might be less than 20.

Create Folders with Rules, that will automatically move the messages to those folders without you having to do anything.

For example if you get a lot of message from news@company.com, you create a folder with a rule that every message from that sender directly goes in that folder.

Helps filter out a bunch of shite.

This is the attitude I want to push for.

Honestly a lot of it is bc people can't make simple decisions on shite without unnecessarily involving others.

Logistics import/export. I don't mind going the extra mile to get the work done but difficult part is collaborating with a bunch of other people who don't give a frick. my work depends on other people so I have to make sure they reply back to me, sometimes I have to make same phone calls 10 times or send exact same e-mail 10 times.

I get 50-100 emails daily. Sometimes more.

And yeah, half them are just company bullshite where they put everyone on the distribution list (work for a large company).

Eeehhhhh on a fairly typical day I'd say maybe between 20-30ish? Most of those get deleted. In a given day there are maybe 5-10 emails that I hold on to or file away.

0 most days. If I don't open Outlook I can claim ignorance.
