I think that email is a pretty cool thing.
That is, until they started using it for SPAMZ and workplace communication.
I see people who get buried beneath big, fat piles of email. It's all that they can do to just try to keep up with the endless flow of CC and BCC messages, with little chance to actually do work.
For managers, it's just plain insane. It's all that they do.
Is there any answer? How does your workplace manage the email onslaught? How do you get work done?
Steam Crow will probably always remain a small-small company, so I hope that this email issue will never be a big issue for us. Sure, I answer a fair number of customer emails, but it's nothing like 10-20 per hour (of internal messages) or anything insane like that.
For our internal communications, I plan on us (mostly) talking in person, and communicating via email when it makes the most sense.
By chance, did you want to email me?
You can, using our Contact page. I won't get mad or anything.
