I begin every email with “Esteemed Colleagues”

Then I BCC their bosses as I call them out for every perceived petty slight and insult.

I’ve used team before. I never thought there was any negative connotation to it.

I start every internal e-mail with either:

Listen up count,
Or
Listen up count, depending on the number of recipients.

I start every client e-mail with,

Don't use "team" its offensive to those who aren't team-inclined.

I just type my message and send it.. Like...

"Information X that used to be in fileabc is now on filedef. Dave I need you to link your data to Joe's data so that a query can be set up.

Thanks Chris"

Saying "team," sounds gay.
