Right? And I don't bold random words. For some reason this one really cheeses me. My eyes glaze over as soon as I see that in an email.
Sorry, do you never communicate with boomers?
#PLEASE REPLY APPROVED IF APPROVED
The most annoying email to receive, the one that shouldn't exist.
"That's not how approvals work Karen, you need to open a ticket. Like the last time I told you this."
Lmao I am sure that more millennials and Gen z folks use AI in their emails than I realize but it's the boomers and Gen x who largely fail to remove the telltale formatting, in my experience.
Gen X and maybe Boomers were taught to type and write formally and we haven’t forgotten. AI was trained on us.
Cue the Office Space meme about why I shouldn’t change because he’s wrong.
Younger millennial here, we were taught formal at school then had to unlearn all that shit in the workplace.
