ah-dee Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Some folk at my work actually print out emails and keep them in a folder. If I was manager I'd genuinely be having a word with them telling them to stop doing it immediately and perhaps asking why they're being such fucking idiots.thats ridiculous. i bet they are the same kind of morons that will moan about recycling 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet she goes out first for a fag, takes a rug out with her for and unravels it, but unbeknownst to her workmates the rug has a solid metal base hidden underneath which has a support pillar welded to it which she hides inside the back of her long black cloak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Read receipt bams are passive aggressive dicks. A woman in my last workplace did this with everything. I'm assuming someone lied about an email then this started it?Read receipt for a holiday notification. Arrrgghh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrrgghh I take great delight in clicking 'no' when Outlook asks if I want to let the person who has requested a Read Receipt know that I've read their e-mail. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Yep. Even though it takes longer. I did this too after a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 The only time read receipts should be answered with a yes is when the numpty leaves them on when they've sent and fairly pointless office wide email 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was manager I'd genuinely be having a word with them telling them to stop doing it immediately and perhaps asking why they're being such fucking idiots.I've told this before but always worth sharing again. A manager at a DSS office in Aberdeen. 1st job every morning was to print every email and every attachment in full. She would then read them and on the front email with the attachment write a distribution list for an Admin Asst to either take round and have read and signed by the people that she felt needed to read it or if it was important a photocopy of each email and it's attachments was made for everyone on the distribution list.This could see an email with a 50 page attachment was printed and photocopied half a dozen times instead of just read on screen and forwarded.She was a stupid as these events make her appear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once had someone come and complain I wasn't sending read receipts and it looked like I wasn't even getting them. When I showed I could read and delete without it ever going to received I thought she was going to cry 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 In the bad old days we would receive an office memo with a list of names which you would sign against your own and then pass round the office. Our then manager would take glee in pointing out that you had read the memo and get on with the changes he wanted implemented. After a month or so of this I decided just to keep hold of them, by the time the old c**t had left they had filled a drawer in my desk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsr Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 People who want to be called on the phone instead of answering simple and clear questions in an email should be repeatedly thrown in the sea until they lack the energy to climb back out. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Can't believe there are organisations out there that supply the staff with milk! I need to buy a four pint one every Monday for my cereal and tea! Any chance of a job mate? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
