In the past few months, I’ve noticed a significant increase of emails being sent by employees to other departments for “assistance”.
They make no effort to elaborate on the issue or explain why they cannot handle the request themselves. It’s the classic dump & run, the “please read the full email chain and figure it out for me, thanks” variety. To make matters worse, they copy others to email to make it look like they are aggressively handling the issue, then I have them blowing up my email box for follow-ups.
I’m tired of the complete lack of respect for my time. Management couldn’t give a sh--e about it.
How wide spread of an issue is this?
I’ve decided to start ignoring these emails and hopefully send the silent message to stop the insanity.
I’m not your secretary, DO IT YOURSELF!
