I only use the preview pane to read emails to get around this

There's an option to disable / ask before sending read receipts. gently caress read receipts, never send them ever.

I do parts of several other peoples' jobs to help out so I don't feel like a total leech

layoff story. i was at a company a few years ago when microsoft shut us down (we were owned by MS), and they brought us all in to our big conference room/theatre thing. it was a few MS hr people, the VP of our entire division (who broke the news to us) and literally every person in the entire company all in the room. about 10 minutes in to it, the studio head got a phone call from a journalist asking if the layoffs were true, and then several other people started getting texts from game journos and some recruiters. was pretty good.
