>'Melton: Yeah. And it was sometimes a roll of the dice. Like, you get the email from your boss, like from Scott, and you would not be quite sure about [the answer], and then you would reply or forward, include Scott so he gets a reply, and you would send it to one of your people. And the death was if that person didn’t reply until the morning. Then that person has a black eye and you’ve just given them, made them look bad in front of your boss.' As stated, that's very typical but no less appalling non-management. Cover yourself with a speedy reply while deflecting onto a sacrificial subordinate in one move. It only takes a few minutes to ping your reports and determine which of then can/will reply before CC'ing one of them a grenade.
