Name that email!!
April 28th, 2009
Yes, folks it’s time to “name that email”! Here’s one that we received today which is sooooo totally related to work that I immediately took care of the enduser’s request!
XXXXX,
I received an email ice cream coupon from Ben & Jerry’s and I am unable to open it. Is there anything I can do so that I am able to retrieve my birthday present from Ben & Jerry’s? I don’t want to lose out on a free ice cream.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
XXXXX
So, based on the tone and idiocy of this email, can you guess what level this employee is? You can? You’re CORRECT!!! This is an “associate VP” position! That being said you can assuredly bet I *immediately* took care of this email by immediately deleting it and blocking the B&J domain at our spam filter level from accessing her inbox ever again. Now she’ll just *have* to remember the ice cream *surprise* for herself on her birthday.
This is why I get the big bucks, folks.
