Email has been with us, increasingly part of mainstream culture, since sometime in the early 1990s. However, during that time few rules or restrictions have emerged on proper use of email. As the socially unrestricted and workplace unregulated use of email expands, guidelines and rules for respectful and productive use of email are needed.
I suggest the following:
RULES for replying to email: Do not reply to all unless you are sure this is absolutely need-to-know necessary.
Email does not equal work. Writing an email is not equal to doing your job. Your job is more than professional email writer. DO NOT CYA by cc'ing your boss to prove that you told someone something when it is YOUR job to see that the job is done.
