Monday Manners Moment

People are stupid. Here is an example of something that is happening right now in my work inbox. I have no idea who any of these people are. It all started with an email that was reminding us to take a survey for work.
**Don't reply to all unless you want all to read your email. **

email 1-
Dear Colleagues,

I know there is so much going on but I do strongly encourage you to take the survey. The county has not had such a survey done countywide in a long time, if ever, and it is important that your opinion is represented.

Sincerely,
Scott

email 2-
Sorry for the error in reply. I have redirected this to my faculty.

Scott

email 3-
Thanks for your help. However, please be sure to hit reply, instead of Reply to all. Everyone is getting this message.

Thanks!

email 5-
Please don’t reply to all!

Not sure why I'm on this email list. Please take me off when you get a chance. Thanks!

There is a reply and reply ALL button, people. Pay attention to who you WANT to get your emails. :)

I hope that is the last email. But I have a feeling it isn't. Seriously people. COME ON!

Wow. So glad I'm missing out on this one. :) I guess it's not entirely county-wide.

That is truely hilarious... although not if I was receiving those emails. I do have a somewhat similar cituation at work but I believe it is taken care of seeing as I have not had any more follow up emails to things I don't follow up on. haha.

and I did not reply to all. hahahaa

crazy. Maybe there's something wrong with the reply? Or with their brains?

Jenica said...

Yup, over 80 emails yesterday. My email crashed because of it! It really made me question the intelligence of Fairfax County teachers. Except you. And me.

Kim said...

I am laughing so hard right now...hahaha!!!
