Day 11: Email is evil

Pick up the phone - or your legs.

Day 11: Email is evil
Published:
πŸŽ„
Welcome to 24 Days of Unpopular Opinions. In this series, enjoy an advent calendar of daily hot takes to help you get through the silly season.

You are sending 10 times too many emails and it's making the world a worse place.

Email is a pyramid scheme - every email creates 1.2 emails. If you can't resolve a conversation in 2-3 emails, it should have happened on the phone or in person.

Use the phone, or your legs.

Merry Christmas,
