I'm sure many of you with office jobs can relate. It seems at least 75% of emails are totally pointless. What's worse is I notice this trend of people routinely asking others to do shit for them that isn't even remotely close to their job description. Responding that you aren't responsible for that tends to be met with fierce opposition, such as “So and so is not a team player!”
The best move? Ignore or delete the emails. I'm down to less than 10 emails/day that actually have any value or require my input. It's a breath of fresh air.
