I have 37 meetings scheduled this week

[larsIU]

Yes, I get it. Who cares. Certainly not I.

But, holy hell, what happened to COMPOSING AN EMAIL AND SENDING TO THE GROUP FOR FEEDBACK. Shirley, you don't need 45 minutes of my time during the day to propose an idea I know you're just going to do anyway.

Just be detailed in your email.

Also, that 37 will definitely rise to 45+ before end of week. We have all these communication tools and people just continue to have meetings.

Cocksman!!!! I have three. Just got a bunch of new product in. I know how the meetings will go by rote:
Oh wow. Looks great.
Yeah this is really nice.
Love it.
But when do you think more money will come in?
Yes that was my question. On the money.
Are we thinking this quarter?
With more product?
No. Money.

I arrived to the office only to have 74 unread emails. Why the hell don't people just stop by my office or call me or even have an old fashioned in person meeting from time to time? Now I have to read all this crap when a 5 minute (or less) face-to-face would have replaced your 7 emails?

And stop with the emails that just say "Thanks."!

How about this one:

Hey, I missed your email last night with the draft letter. Can you resend it?

Hi Joe,

With your after hours missive I took it upon myself to review the number of contacts we’ve had with you in February. Regrettably, I must inform you that you have exceeded what we deem acceptable and are now subject to our punitive billing practices. Our rates until this matter resets are now $650 per hour.

Yours in anger,

Agree. I have 10 meetings today alone. May start wearing Depends so I can just piss in my pants in my office.

In the 90s people at least stayed away from lunch. No more. And yes, many of these meetings could be an email.

Emails are discoverable. If you work for a government emails are public records subject to FOI laws. Phone calls are better.

 

[Cortez88]

I used to work with a partner at a law firm who would send an email. Then he’d call your office and leave a vm. Then he’d have the receptionist page you. You’d stop what you were doing, ask to borrow the phone and call him. He’d say, “I sent you an email.”

I had to request to never work with him again for fear of serious jail time.

Kill!!!! That’s hilarious.

My old gf used to send firmwide emails where the subject line would read:
BIG NEWS!!!!
This morning our firm won a motion to compel….

And it would always be her that did it. LOL. Oh how the women in the office hated her

Hilariously Accurate Tweets About Dating in St. Louis

Anyone who has dated in St. Louis can tell you that it is not always pleasant. If you’re online, there are awful profiles, boring (or completely wild) text conversations with matches, ghosting, catfishing and terrible dates. St. Louis has taken to Twitter to hilariously sum up what it’s like to...

We had one that would use someone else's phone to call you so you didn't know it was him calling you.

Just imagine being in the public sector and not being able to delete emails. Each email must be maintained, preferably filed in the appropriate email file.

I'm on the fence. There's been a deluge of emails for me between work, kids school (I get multiple per day from them), kids activities, and other shit (think adult crap - insurance, etc., etc.).

Sometimes I find it more efficient and effective for work to pickup the phone, walk down the hall, etc. and knock something out.

Is the public sector that stupid? My emails are tracked and saved for five years (FINRA) and I can readily delete and move them wherever I want.

Agree 100%; But explaining an idea you have is email worthy. In fact, write teh email then re write it 20x and then send it to me.

I don’t make the rules. Are you also subject to FOIA or something similar where any member of the public can request information?

Emails are the best thing to happen to litigation ever.

Had a securities case in Florida about 15 years ago. Smaller company. They did an internal investigation and found the CEO had done a bunch of bad stuff in China, hid failing factories, etc. and used a very shady Chinese accounting firm for their factories over there.

In the initial disclosures, they sent over everything that they had done in the internal investigation and we found all these emails from the CEO documenting his SugarDaddy site usage. Dude had saved the profiles of dozens of women, all over the country--some were absolute smoke shows--and his correspondence with them under some username like PinkPanther67. He even had an email where he had laid out rankings of each woman, with star ratings and notes about their likes/dislikes and sexual proclivities.

Rumors were he had the same thing going over in China and that all the U.S. businessmen who went to Hong Kong regularly had Chinese mistresses, both in HK and on the mainland.

I think I’ll delete this e-mail from Orvis while I do my knee rehab exercises and watch a couple of episodes of the new Drive to Survive season.
