Do you think it's annoying
When you get a work email and it says only "see below"?
Re: Do you think it's annoying
I feel like (at least with the emails i'm thinking about) if you're taking the time to forward this e-mail out you should preface it a little.
The ones I usually get refer to robbery, scams, someone in the area hitting banks up trying to impersonate clients. It's beneficial for me to be able to look quickly at "Hey Gainesville, be on the look out for X driving X looking to do X". It helps me make the time to read it instead of just ignore it until later.
It could just be where I work/what I do/the fact that it happens 900,000,000 times a day.
Depends on the context. If it's my boss forwarding a PSA type work email, no. Almost anything else yes.
I would never forward something to my own boss that way. And I give people on my level and below me the same courtesy. To me, it means I didn't care enough to preface it with anything regarding why I'm forwarding, why it's important, etc., and is kinda rude in my opinion.
Definitely not the way to get ahead in the corporate world where your superiors are more than likely in their 40's or later, unless you're already at the top.
Here are the situations I was thinking of when I see or use "see below:"
Our marketing department gets all kinds of correspondence/solicitation/marketing materials/indsutry changes from different companies and forwards to all of the account managers with "see below" or "fyi" and I never thought twice about it. This happens ten or fifteen times a day.
I get all of the correspondence/electronic documents for one particular company we work with even if it wasn't my account. I always forward it to the correct AM with "see below." Same with other AMs who get my correspondence.
Is that inappropriate or rude? I see your point very much if the email required any action. I guess I've always used/seen it used in an "FYI" way.
This has been an interesting topic I think! It seems like those of us who appreciate succintness and are more blunt do not have any problem with this type of correspondence when it seems appropriate.
I hate this to. Like, look at who it was originally sent to before forwarding it to me. Thanks.
In reference to the original question, no it doesn't bother me. I'd rather just see below. Why do I need a summary of what I am going to see below to read?
