What's wrong with that... saves following up with people who allow the response back.
If their emails are so unimportant that people won't bother reading them then they shouldn't send them, usually from sales departments.Wreckless Rat wrote: Wed Feb 10, 2021 1:56 pmWhat's wrong with that... saves following up with people who allow the response back.
Well I disagree, but this is RTTL, so best just saying "yes you're right" else risk being accused of MMPP.Mussels wrote: Wed Feb 10, 2021 3:00 pmIf their emails are so unimportant that people won't bother reading them then they shouldn't send them, usually from sales departments.Wreckless Rat wrote: Wed Feb 10, 2021 1:56 pmWhat's wrong with that... saves following up with people who allow the response back.
Ergo a if a read reciept is requested it's unlikely to be worth reading.
Nobody should allow them by default anyway, it lets scammers see that someone is using the address.
No one here reads internal emails regardless of what you put in the subject line or if there is a read receipt *****Top Urgent! Most Important! Response Required !URGENT! EVEN MORE URGENT****. Its not until your manager contacts you and says "Have you seen the email....." that you look it up. I currently have 489 unread emails and they will almost certainly never be read. I don't even read the emails I read, I just pick up a couple of key words and assume the rest. Customer emails are dealt with in strict received date order, again, regardless of read receipts and subject lines.Mussels wrote: Wed Feb 10, 2021 3:00 pmIf their emails are so unimportant that people won't bother reading them then they shouldn't send them, usually from sales departments.Wreckless Rat wrote: Wed Feb 10, 2021 1:56 pmWhat's wrong with that... saves following up with people who allow the response back.

Nope it doesn't. But that's like saying "no I didn't get that recorded letter I signed for" - it takes the burden off me.McNab wrote: Thu Feb 11, 2021 8:55 am Even if I was to send back the read receipt, it doesn't mean I've actually read it.
Perhaps that says more about the people you work with than anything.Potter wrote: Thu Feb 11, 2021 9:35 amIME some of the people that demand you respond to their email are the sort of people that think sending an email absolves them of any further responsibility, they just want to offload it to the next person. With these people I usually acknowledge their email but then I ask them to do something before I do the thing that they want me to do, if that means they have to do work then they go away.Wreckless Rat wrote: Thu Feb 11, 2021 9:26 amNope it doesn't.

I work with a number of large (£1m+) projects, currently running four with a dabble in a fifth and when projects get to red status I'll request both a delivery and read receipt. I don't give a monkeys if some are offended by this. It saves me a bucket load of chasing. I don't use them on every email, but I do use them on critical emails. Perfect, no, as not everyone allows read receipts, but id guess about 85/90% of people do.
A few years ago I had one of British Cyclings Olympic bikes in my hands for benchmark testing. This was on the frames they used to Beijing and London and could well have won a medal, so I was obviously treating it with some caution.
Pedal bikes have the brakes swapped over. Bought a couple when we first moved here. After lifetime of front brake on right on cycles and motorcycles it was almost impossible for brain to swap. So had to change them around.Jody wrote: Thu Feb 11, 2021 1:15 pm Taps being backwards
Not only are they the wrong way round (hot on the left) but they also operate backwards, clockwise to turn on !!
It's madness, madness I tell you
For me, it's more about knowing people have read your warnings they will be incurring delay charges, or that the extra work that has been requested comes at a cost etc. If I can see Bob has read it, I couldn't give a monkeys if he was nailing his secretary over the table and accidentally "opened" the email, I have a read receipt of him being notified. I'm not a PA.... I run multiple pretty large projects at any one time, I don't have the time nor inclination to chase people to read their emailsPotter wrote: Thu Feb 11, 2021 1:00 pmFair enough, I can see why you'd be annoyed at being ignoredWreckless Rat wrote: Thu Feb 11, 2021 11:48 am

If there is a RAG status that is important to publish, or a change of scope, potential delayed work incurring penalties, its not my job to do anything other than notify those that need to know. It's handy to know if they have read it.
