Your Email, I have not read it nor will I ever

  1. I get an average of 10 email/min in the morning, 8 emails/min in the afternoon and 12 emails/min between 5-6pm.
  2. Based on (1) I cannot possibily read all of them
  3. Based on (2), that’s why I missed out your VERY URGENT ASAP request for action.
  4. Based on (1), (2) and (3) if you had really needed a reply, the title of your email should not have read Re: FYI only: New shite for other depts to be aware of
  5. Another good reason why I ignore your emails is because you cc every single piece of email to me even if it does not involve me. Your name in the sent column now triggers a reflex action to automatically ignore it.
  6. In addition, because of (1) - the measly 100MB allocation of disk space is not even remotely enough forcing me to periodically delete all your unread emails
  7. Due to the ridiculousness of (1) and (5), I now set my email client to check mail only every 20 mins. The sound of You have new mail going off at high speeds every minute is incredibly annoying, driving me to the verge of despair.
  8. Lastly, I’m going to resign as soon as I get my bonus so I don’t give a fish anymore. Nuts to you. Tough luck. Too bad, baby

You can set your e-mail app to automatically delete all mails in which you are in the CC or BCC field.
