This annoys the crap out of me. (Especially when I haven’t given any reason for them to do so).

My supervisor doesn’t need to see every single thing you send me. He knows I can handle it, and he already gets enough emails throughout the day from everyone else who’s bothering him about everything under the sun because they can’t make decisions on their own. I understand if you are dealing with some bozo who never gets their work done but not when you’re dealing with good employees. All you’re doing is annoying them and their supervisors.

Maybe the sender knows something about your job security that you don’t. That doesn’t happen to me unless I’ve fricked something up.

Use it to your advantage. He or she can see how much you’re being tasked by others. Can be helpful during performance discussions.

I used to only do this when that person took forever to respond.

Unless someone is just being spiteful or wants to show the super that they're doing their own work, they could be doing it because you're not good.

It probably annoys your supervisor as well.

Don’t ever work for an Indian company if you hate this. The MFers don’t understand that when you put my boss on copy with 19 other people, there is zero accountability on who is doing what by when.

I’ve removed everyone else from a CC to ask that a shipping label be sent to X instead of Y, and these dildos put everyone else back on CC including my boss. Reasons?

Maybe he doesn’t feel like you are handling it?

This. Passive-aggressive bs, in my opinion.

Unless you ignore three emails, I'm not including supervisors. Ignore that third email, you're fricking lucky I don't include the goddamn CEO. I'm not sending these things for my health.

Fun fact, you can send emails with low importance, I do it all the time to vendors that piss me off because I think it's funny.

You BCC assholes don’t realize that we know who you are pretty fast.

I am the supervisor and the amount of emails I’m cc’ed on daily is close to being overwhelming. If my staff doesn’t follow up on an email, then you can let me know about it. Otherwise, it’s between the two of you.
