It's an interesting article, and mostly I agree with it. But, in my experience a worse office habit is when a manager decides everyone must stop using email and now use Facebook at Work, or One Note for everything, or Skype chat, or you name some other one of a million communication apps that waste time and make life more difficult at work. It usually starts when the manager goes to some workshop at a conference or reads a book on "productivity" that explains exactly how your office is doing it wrong by utilizing the most universal and adaptable communication platform, email. Soon 25% of the office is using the new app, another 25% is trying to figure out how to make it work, another 25% has filed a ticket with IT to figure out how to make it work, and a recalcitrant 25% is still using email in order to get actual work done.

I love thier stupid scam attempts!!!!

I get emails that LOOK LIKE I SENT IT from "mailerdeamon - failed to send" (Or something like this) and they have an attachment there.... They sadly think EVERYONE is stupid enough to open the attachment!! (Thinking they sent it and wondering what it is)
