From the things I hear about email from people online, I must have really lucked out to be so sheltered from it.
I've worked for a number of companies in my life, and I now work for a relatively large corporation - and email has never been a problem. Since Monday I have received 7 non-automated emails (lots of automated emails, sorted into folders) and only one of them required action on my part.
- GordonS 8y agoI work for a megacorp (~250,000 emloyees) - the level of spam messages it puts out every day to all employees is honestly just staggering. I guess I average 7 such emails a day, never mind a week. Just as bad, is many of them are repeated, over and over again - some every few days for a while, some every week in perpetuity. And even worse is that every single company email that goes out is an image. And I don't mean contains images - the actual email body is a single image with crappy 90's graphics and rendered text! On the odd occasion where you want to copy and paste, you're out of luck. I've got several Exchange rules set up to put them in a "Cruft" folder, but new ones keep popping up, and every once in a while it catches a "real" email, so I still need to check it from time to time. /rant
- oftenwrong 8y agoSimilar situation here. I didn't even check my email today. If there is something important I will be notified, either automatically or by a slack mention/direct-message.
