Confessions from an Email Fail…

  1. It is quite easy to click “reply all” to emails you mean to reply only to sender.
  2. It’s always better to wait and have a conversation with a colleague than rush out an email.
  3. The definition of irony is flubbing up an email…about email.
  4. Our colleagues are kind and forgiving.
  5. Sometimes, lessons are learned the hard way; take it from me!
