20 Bad Behaviors Using Email

As a professional person, emails are the most important thing in everyday life. It can be said that emails are great for explaining a complex topic, recording a topic, and communicating the upcoming plans. And everything in e-mail can be electronically archived, which can be a basis for our subsequent summary. But if you use e-mail to vent anger against others, this is another cruel act of e-mail.

So, in addition to e-mail to vent their anger, what else is considered bad behavior of e-mail? John Brandon, contributing editor for the American Inc magazine, shared his 25 e-mail misconduct at inc.com:

1. The reply email is just a website without any explanation. It would be better to give at least a short note. In some cases, it is obviously just a quick, helpful help.

2. Reply to an email with one word, no other explanation. Although a word is the only way to interrupt someone, but you are not going to do it in the supermarket? The replies of a word are sometimes valid, and sometimes they can only be rude.

3. Use words improperly. Many words should not be used in emails, such as "unfortunately", "sincere", "but", "sorry", "magic", "statistical", "official", "interesting" It is "," "distant" and "best" but people dismiss it.

4. Curse swears. Maybe you know this is a kind of humor, but you never know if someone will misunderstand your humor? Or tell this to the boss?

5. Do not reply at all. For some reason, the public believes that there is no answer to "not replying" to an email. At least reply and give an explanation will be better.

6. Entanglement. Do not send 5-6 e-mails to people to ask about one thing. It's okay to remind the other person, but it's not good to be mad.

7. Write a lengthy email to tell why this man is an idiot. Although we understand that one person is angry and needs to vent, what is the solution? You can write a long email and then delete it. Or go talk to this person.

8. There are too many details of boring people. It's not about NASA's rocket conference. By cleaning up your sensations and summarizing things, you will make recipients happier in life.

9. Dispute email. Controversy sometimes erupts through e-mails, which just cause too much pressure on people. Pick up the phone, or better, only occasionally, go with him.

10. Do not call. Sometimes, for the email period, it is also cruel. There are some topics, such as trying to retain an employee, or discussing future plans, preferably voice calls.

11. Use email to condemn. This is a simple way to avoid confrontation, but a terrible way to solve anything. Using e-mail in condemnation always put someone in a defensive position.

12. Concise. Look at it, we always send short, stylish emails. This is not always a bad thing. But not fully explaining yourself often creates a communication nightmare.

13. Critical grammar. Certainly, your recipient will not grasp the difference between effects and influences. Using bad grammar just slows down the discussion.

14. Explain in detail why it is best to have a telephone conversation. Have you received such an official document before? Is it better to give a phone call and explain? Or just call it without special emphasis?

15. Make fun of someone, just click Reply to everyone by mistake. This is a bit silly, and when everyone starts to tease the original sender, this is very bad.

16. Make yellow content. You are surprised that people often send prompt e-mails. This will be used as a permanent point-of-care record, which is easy to put forward in performance evaluation.

17. Forward spam. A small amount of spam is funny or weird, but it's best to leave it for yourself.

18. Send a series of emails. This is not only annoying, it is usually meaningless. In addition, no one will know that you broke this chain.

19. Let everyone know that you are the boss. This is another way of looking bad in email. It is best to build trust, respect, and admiration from employees through good decisions.

20. Look down. The person who received the email messed up a project, and it seems that they do not understand the underlying business practices. Rebating them with an email will only make you look stingy.
