REPLY ALL

OK people, here is how it works.  You do not need to reply all on every single email. Especially when an email is sent to a group and you have a comment for only one person - then simply reply to the sender or forward to that particular individual.

I have seen it happen where someone will call someone else on the carpet in front of the group by email - not fair, not nice, not even respectful.  If you have something to say, perhaps pick up the phone (imagine that?!) or simply send an email to the party concerned - that way the information, scathing remarks, poor commentary and even profanity stays between the two concerned.  You are doing yourself a disservice by providing your self-righteous and inconsistent comments to the whole group  -  whether this is upward, downward or peer-to-peer....think twice about hitting that reply all.

Even if you are simply acknowledging attendance or giving an LOL not everyone needs to have their email box clogged....just the sender.

How do you handle the "Reply All" dictator in your group?
