As an anecdote, having worked as a contractor for the DoD, the amount of mail received (internally) that is not relevant to your actual work or job is somewhat astronomical, 90–95% for me. There are many, many lists, warnings, notices, digests, alerts, etc.
- jff 10y agoWe sometimes get situations where there's a semi-important note in a daily newsletter, and the group secretary decides to copy-paste it in an email to the whole group. Then the level 1 manager doesn't look at the To: line and forwards it to the whole group again. Then our level 2 manager gets the same information from someone else and forwards it to the entire group as well. I'll get the exact same information about today's health and wellness walk or whatever upwards of 3-4 times.
