e-mail signature?

How many of you include your e-mail address for your company in your e-mail signature?
If you do, isn't a bit redundant? Because they already have your e-mail address and/or they can simply hit reply?
I admit, I was guilty of this. But I just read an article on this (why, I don't know) and it makes sense.
What say you?

Better to include it than not
Even if they have my info, it’s still there again if they need it

I include
Jenx
at the end of all correspondence out of respect.

I do since it contains some contact info that they can't easily deduce from the e-mail alone.

Keep it in. Its like leaving your number in a voicemail. The caller ID has your number but you still leave it.

I love how managers set policy of not using pictures or backgrounds in signatures or email and they are the ones who send that in their emails.

I include it in case the email is forwarded, or someone gets a PDF version and etc. Sometimes forwarded emails only include the contact name for the to, from, cc etc.

i have thought this before.
not even redundant... almost insulting.
i include mine.

Mine is in there, but it's a standard e-mail signature that all of us in the division use.
If I was creating my own from scratch, I probably wouldn't include it. Or the fax number... no one ever faxes me anything.

- Name(which is redundant, I guess)
- Title
- Office #
- Cell #
- Company Logo
- Company Social Media link

I took out the company pictures in my email signature because it tends to send emails to spam more often than not

I have my work address, work email, work phone, etc on all work emails.
To this day, I am still annoyed that someone was pissy with me because they saw an email by me and didn't see my phone number in the corporate directory.

When is something resolved in the first email? With our email system as forwards continue on the person you are trying to reach back to isn't always included.
Additionally, someone can trim off parts of an email for brevity... etc....
Having it does zero harm and can save time/allow members from different organizations to contact each other.
Not having it...? Benefits nothing.

You gave an example of a benefit right before saying this. Otherwise, just include every single detail that could possibly be useful in your official signature.
Giant, cluttered signatures look ridiculous.

I was referencing that people trim down email chains, or trim out pieces that they don't deem necessary or beneficial to the overall picture being painted. That was an example where the email of someone you need to respond to could be lost. While I understand you dislike as u think it looks stupid, it still proves to be beneficial, often.

I almost always have a parent that wants to call me, fax something, etc.
So it's my name, title, school number and direct extension, and fax number.

Nope. And I hide my phone number too sometimes depending.

Dear Mr. Cover,
Please spare us from the pointless threads. They are meaningless and take away from time I could otherwise spend on meaningful OT threads.
Yours forever and always,
