Exactly. My work email is like 95% BS corporate emails, and I just don't check it anymore. I felt bad for the first few months, but there were zero repercussions because actual communication happens on Slack or we mention it in team meetings. Email exists to be searched or to be referenced in another chat system (e.g. hey, I sent you an email with those attachments, forward it as needed).
Skill issue.
Make rules and folders lmao.
Why? I could spend my time doing that, or I could just do my job. I almost never need to actually look at my work email for my job, so why bother?
Ok zoomer
I felt bad as well but I don't anymore. At this point if you want a prompt response and you choose email that's on you. Specially if we're 10-20 steps from each other in the office.
Exactly. We work in-office 2x/week, and we're an open plan office. If it can wait a couple days, I'll be in anyway, so why send an email?
We have Slack channels for announcements for various groups, and in-person for anything that needs a response right now. Email is almost never the right medium.
