Does no one actually read their emails? Feels like everyone is just skimmers

It gets really old getting asked the same question that's already been answered 10 times in an email.

No they don't. Their attentions spans don't allow it.

I have found the use of bullet points and extreme brevity helps.

Once I actually put something in large bold font highlighted in yellow and my boss at the time still asked me.


grrr...
I receive read receipt on work emails, they still come and ask me directly what I just answered in email. they don't read them.

I get at least 100 emails a day at work. I know what's important and what's bullshit.

@HowtoDestroyAngels There are way too many emails, that's the problem.

It's the short attention span & even shorter retention ability way of life nowadays.
Sarcasm was made for such people, at such times as this.
