You know you can turn that off...

The whole CC someone one level above me thing on emails is infuriating.

I’ve got to imagine there is a real VP somewhere in those companies whose sole job is to trash emails on those chains.

I always wonder what level of A-Bergs is it OK to assume someone has when they have this selected in Outlook.

Upvoted because I love the idea for that subtle troll, you just fricked up the dismount. Cut that dollar amount in half and put a ~ in front of it and you’d have been going places

Feel free to change your upvote to a downvote but it’s not a troll at all.

Except that you said you're going to buy a new replacement tomorrow, so you really are buying a $65 wine glass.

Yes, I am. And I’m annoyed because I made a mistake. What’s your point?

Probably my #1. Anyone who does this gets an immediate phone call from me on the spot and if they don’t answer a follow up reply all email telling them to call me back.

I don’t throw a fit or anything but I approach it with the attitude of “you brought my boss in so this is important and urgent so we are solving this right now and letting my boss know our progress every step along the way.”


I’ve noticed along the years that people cc my boss less than they used to

People who don't say thank you after opening a door for them.

Actually, people being ungrateful in general. I remember one guy who accidentally dropped his debit card in an elevator. When I pointed it out to him he just picked it up without saying thank you.

I know I worded it that way, but I’m really talking about the endless nature of those emails. They forward it to someone a level above. That person forwards it above, so on and so forth until someone that actually runs shite in the company just deletes it - in my mind anyway.
