Only a few hundred emails a day? How do you get any work done?! I get a few dozen and it's a huge distraction.

- VLM 12y agoI can provide a personal example, I work at a place where we have one and only one ticketing / bug tracking system, but it can't be used for ticketing / bug tracking because its only to be used in hyper procedural, formalized manner solely to generate numerical metrics. All actual ticket tracking / bug tracking work is organized manually by each individual in email. Not entirely unlike how most corporations use Excel as their corporate standard database, although excel isn't technically a database. So email is not a ticketing system, but for us, it is. A few hundred emails is not terribly unusual per day. Filtering strategies are vital. Topic drift away from the subject line is strongly discouraged. This is at one of the largest companies in the world.
