My Co-Workers Should Read “Send: The Essential Guide….”
Posted by sjtaffee on 5th October 2008
If only everyone who sends me email would read Send: The Essential Guide to Email for Office and Home (Amazon citation) my life would be so much better.
Authors David Shipley and Will Schwalbe have created a witty and practical guide to that office terror known as email.
Email! So much like the weather in that we all complain about and don’t do much about it. Who hasn’t experienced things such as:
- the “reply all” carpet bomb?
- the reply without the original message head scratcher?
- the subject line that, after several volleys, is no longer relevant to the topic under discussion?
- the CYACC line to keep everyone (and the dog – because on the Intent know one knows your’re a dog) “keep you in the loop?”
- SHOUTING, poor spellyng, and annoying and impenetrable :+)!!
A short, pleasant read that will remnind you that the laws of common sense are not suspended whe it comes to email. You’ll want everyone to read this book, but you’ll want to keep your own copy so make them get their own.
