It’s odd that the corporate world is so dependent on email but people barely read theirs, especially if it comes from IT or HR. Which is doubly odd if you think about it, because emails from those two departments are the ones most likely to have a huge impact on your working life!

In my own field, I’ve sent out emails in quadruplicate about some system outage and then people are completely unaware there’d be any planned disruption. These days I’ve had people ignore 4+ emails, two notices in Slack, and a post on the company intranet.

Just…how? Why? Are these people awake?
