Do people in your office e-mail the whole company with dumb things (lunch orders, lost glove, etc)?

Question

I work in an office that employs about 2,000 people in 3 buildings. It amazes me that every single person has access to send from the main distribution list. Everyday I get dumb e-mails from random people about lunch orders being placed, lost items, invites for retirement cakes for people, birthday cakes, parking spot raffles, silly contests taking place, etc.

Now mind you – these e-mails really only apply to one team or department that is sending it. However, the whole distribution list (2,000 employees) are being notified when these e-mails are sent.

These departments also have their own distribution lists so I don’t understand how management gets all these e-mails and says nothing. Does this happen at anyone else’s offices?

Answer 1

I got an email that said a former (retired) employee's cat had kittens. Ridiculous

Answer 2

confident. This regularly occurs whilst companies hire morons! human beings e mail the dumbest issues. in case you detect them offensive only forward them to HR. you're able to as nicely see a help in those emails! :) those non interest appropriate emails clog the e-mail servers, sluggish overall performance and actually value the employer money. I even have had to fireside human beings for beside the point e mail utilization. bear in ideas that despite you deliver in an e mail could be forwarded and saved indefinitely! Be very careful what you put in an e mail!

Answer 3

We get e-mails telling us where to meet for cocktails after work, and directions to the Pub.
