Pro tip: stop ignoring the 'reply all' button feedback from your boss

Honestly, my manager at the call center in Omaha told me I was using reply all too much on internal emails. I changed to only using it when someone explicitly asks for a group response. Ngl, it cut my email complaints from 5 a week down to zero. Has anyone else gotten feedback that seemed small but made a huge difference?

That's a good point about cutting down reply all usage. But I actually find a blanket "don't use reply all" can cause its own problems. Sometimes you need to keep a whole team in the loop on a decision or a change in procedure, and forwarding individual replies gets messy fast. A better approach might be to just be more careful about when you hit that button, not to swear it off completely.

Wait, people actually defend reply all?
