Email has a place. I always let my teams know that text, phone call, or IM / DM aren't professional ways to communicate.
The reason being is that it isn't externally travelable - you can't send it to the next recipient in a format that is accepted by most people.
Also I hate needing to check five or seven fucking messaging apps to get all of the info consolidated. Send a goddamned email with everything once the thought is finished.
What sort of team setting are you in that your whole team doesn't have a single IM messaging platform that everyone in your company has?
Email is also fantastically based for "getting it in writing" when you're getting abused / exploited at work.
Printing or downloading emails as evidence? Easy peasy.
Extracting message chains from some ridiculously long Slack/Discord/WhatsApp/whatever proprietary messenger app? Pulling teeth. Usually involves a ton of screenshotting.
When I worked at a public library I used to have people screenshotting ridiculously long Facebook messenger chains because their lawyer demanded it all be printed out...and sometimes they'd demand the printouts faxed.
(Usually divorce cases. Sad.)
Absolute insanity.
Why do you have "5 or 7" apps? Being able to communicate externally, with consistency, is the reason for email, that's it. If anyone sends me an email with a question or comment that isn't hyper specific I immediately tell them to go post in a relevant slack channel so others can search for the question/comment in the future.
That is why I have:
- a few emails for registering wherever I should be able to do stuff without an account, but for some reason can't. One of them is a gmail for every place that allows to log in with google.
- one email that I use for account, where I actually may give a shit about the the emails I may recieve from the services I registered/subscribed for.
- one email used exclusively for e-mailing. No accounts, no subscriptions.
Meanwhile:
No, I don't like e-mails, they're all spam, I only have an account to register other accounts. Why can't we continue our chat here on Natziapp (formerly known as Chatter)? Yes, I know, it's full of nazis, and stuff, but if we convince him hard enough, he could change for the better.
I would mark it as spam at "slorp is now bonto" if not at "thank you for creating..."
In the ever changing market BONTO! will now redirect it’s strategy towards a completely different field.
and here’s all the spam regarding said topic that you never took any interest whatsoever, but you still use that one soon to be unsupported florp product.
Do you want to save your email addresses email newsletter status regarding receiving said newsletters to discontinue not receiving email updates notifications? In case you don’t we’ll move the entire planet to the spam folder.
Click “yes” or “ok”.
