Or you could just do your work and not slow everyone else down like a crybaby bitch

And then with that extra time I actually bust my rear end for the people who aren't idiots. Works well because then the well liked and competent people have a good opinion of me and the stupid people don't like me, but no one else likes them anyway, so who cares?

I just straight up ignore e-mails and due to the placement of my desk I can see if people are coming over to talk to me so that's when I slide down under my desk and hide seems to work

I think read receipts are silly at times but usually quite useful because people often ignore their emails. Please confirm receipt of this post.

What does the sender even get if I do say I have received it? Do they get an email saying so, because lol if so. Anyway, it is the last day of work this week for many office folks, it should be a slow day since it's the day before loving Christmas Eve, but I am ready and waiting to be pissed off if someone actually tries to make me work today! I have a conference call in an hour and a half and I better not come out of it with a giant list of poo poo that needs to be done after Christmas! P.S. I decided to turn this into the things about work that make me mad thread. So far: -read receipts -phone calls -working

OctoberBlues posted:What kind of person asks for a read receipt on their emails? I mean seriously, what kind of loser must you be? I always select the box to not notify them that I have read their message, because gently caress them. I also make a mental note that the person must be a needy little bitch and then I ignore them for excessive periods of time. Dear OP, many of us (well, a number of us) have grownup jobs where this is a needed thing. Sorry you are a poor lowlife.

Here we go, everyone is trying to get as much poo poo off their plate as they can before Christmas so the emails are pouring in. Guess what assholes, I work from home, so I'm going to type up a response with a question to all of your emails and then send them all off at like 7 PM so you can't respond and it's off my plate before Christmas. Haha, suck it dickheads!

Any messaging program that allows the sender of a message to know when it has been read is pure evil. I should be free to ignore poo poo in secret at my leisure.

Man I've worked with a ton of clients and the one standard across all of them was that the only emails that requested read receipts were entirely unimportant questions about things the asker should already know, and always came from utterly expendable people who thought they were super important and vital. Is that you? That sounds like it might be you. If you need read receipts to ensure people read your banal email turds then it means you send so much worthless email that people have started tuning you out. People that send emails that other people actually need to do their job properly don't need to pull that poo poo.

Read receipts are almost exclusively reserved for paper trail/rear end covering by middle management.
