E-mail remains the most prevalent form of workplace communication, despite the attention that social media and new messaging software receive in the news. However, many businesspeople describe a "love-hate" relationship with it. Explain three reasons many professionals complain about e-mail
E-mail threads can be long and confusing, requiring the reader to "untangle" them, which is time consuming.
?
Many writers don't take the time to reflect on what they have written or to proofread, causing frustration, confusion, and/or unprofessionalism.
?The sheer volume of e-mail messages can be difficult to manage.
Many messages are sent unnecessarily, cluttering inboxes.
"Blind" copying (including a third-party reader on a message that the primary recipient can't see) can be unethical or embarrassing.
The use of "Reply All" when a response is not pertinent to some recipients clutters inboxes and causes frustration.
The perceived need to be accessible 24/7 eliminates the distinction between work life and home life.
?
Many perceive e-mail as dangerous because of the trail it can leave. Messages on servers are traceable and recoverable, and many organizations can monitor their staff's personal e-mail accounts.
