20 Relatable Tweets About Work Emails That Are a Balance of Hilarious Moments and Genuinely Painful Reality
Putting an exclamation mark at the end of every sentence in my work email...
Most of the time, when we sit and think about it, we discover that the amount of time we spend on emails is crazy and distressing. Some individuals disdain emails so much that they would actually spend "actual dollars" on a blocker to keep them from constantly checking them.
Emails are such an immense time sucker, and productivity consistently takes a hit each and every time you actually look at them. For some individuals, checking emails can be stressful, as each message represents another task.
It demands your time and presents another choice you need to make. You get up, and you’re confronted with a torrential slide of work emails, newsletters, personal chat streams, and many others.
Then, you’re continually deciding which to ignore and which to handle, all of which increases the level of the stress hormone cortisol in our bodies. The fact that we can receive emails on our mobile phones at any time does not help the situation at all.
Then, you realize that technology intended to help with the issue often exacerbates it. What’s more, if you choose to shut your doors to email messages, you might end up missing a significant email that could be beneficial to you.
And when you choose to go through them, you end up spending more time than you budgeted for. Anyway, let's look at 20 emails that are equal parts funny and painfully real.
