I guess just the fact that there are mails with six people in cc is an indication for how bad the order of command is.

Also how little they do. Only those with free time take that time to check the order.

You know it's a boomer who moves their mouse cursor under the text they're a reading.

Those boomers learned a lesson that everyone else has still to learn: it’s annoying AF to miss half the point of an email. 80% of everyone I email as an attorney misses key information. I’ve learned to follow up every email with a phone call to go over the email because of this fact. The folks who miss the least are… THE BOOMERS

Maybe you just write like a boomer?

Wait, so you call after every email to ask for more information?

Do you now know there is a reply button?

This is one of two types of ironic, and I don't know which.

Ah, you're one of those who like the sound of their own voice.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

No. But I’m one who thoroughly enjoys silently saying, “I told you so, repeatedly, and provably,” when shit goes sideways.

Eh, in project work 6 cc'd keep informed stakeholders to one needs this for their component of the work is pretty standard. Especially if it's a lots of moving parts project and some of the stakeholders are 2 for 1s like a delivery lead and SBA.
