Ego spam
-
I just deleted another piece of ego spam. When you work in a large company like I do, your e-mail box is full of these damned promotion announcements. Marty Marketeer gets promoted from the DKLS Diddle account to the PSUP Frazzle account, and everyone has to know about it. All 60,000 fellow employees :rolleyes:.

That's the thing. It's not the minions posting the stupid things. It's their empire-building bosses. It's gotten to the point of being a contest. The more times in a month your name is on a promotion notice, the more 'presence' you have.

The notices in advance are annoying. I don't mind the automated e-mail bounces, since they do let you know why the person isn't responding.

delete this;Depends on how wide the prenotice is distributed. Sending an "FYI I'll be on vacation next week so please get anything that urgently needs my input to me before noon friday" to the people you work with on a daily basis is different than mass spamming your entire address book.

delete this;OK, different sort of policy failure than I thought, but even so unless your company is playing musical chairs at a frantic level access to the alias is still apparently being granted at too low a level.

delete this;I used to work in large company, worldwide 200K, and some times we used to get them from a division, we knew nothing about its existence. Since the pattern was pretty easy to predict, I created Outlook Rules to delete them immediately before even reaching my own eyes. If the news is so important, I will heart it through the rumor machinery in about 30 minutes ( the rumor machinery does have sometimes credible stories ) :sigh:

delete this;I had the same here at the hospital I work at but there came a time where I could select a company wide email (that does not have a MAIL_USER account) over a hospital email account (still thousands of users). I was very happy to choose the former and get rid of all the crap mail announcements. I really did not care that the copier was broken on the 3rd floor blue zone or that Jane Doe was on vacation and then 50 other people were out of their office...

Rubbish. Can't those stupid people check a while before pushing the 'Send' button of the Outlook. :mad:

Hmmm, guess who was sending the emails? The division's communication director. :mad: I guess they should have used a better title, "SPAM Director" X|
