Thanks Ants posted:But maybe it's time to just flag every external email with a massive "this was sent from outside the company" banner. Just prefix the subject with "EXTERNAL". People will ignore it just as fast, but complain half as much.

Thanks Ants posted:Mimecast can sync with your AD and flag stuff with the "from" name set to people in your directory Unless you have it set to only flag those emails that match 2 of the criteria, and spammers only send stuff flagging on one of them.

One of my coworkers at my new job told me the story of how they used to not have any spam filters in place, and that people would spend 15-20 minutes in the morning just cleaning out spam. He saw how much time people were wasting on this and puts in the first spam filter, which does a pretty good job and cuts out almost all of it. It took a while for the "I'm not getting any email" tickets to die down.

After a few email exchanges where a client was not responding to my support team lead and then not following the instructions she was provided, she refused help, then replied "GO AWAY".

User is frustrated that she can't log into an iPhone app. She's getting locked out. In one stream of words: "I know I'm typing my password in correctly. Don't patronize me. I don't need any help. Where are my glasses? I can't see what I'm typing. I hope nobody pulls me over when I drive home. Can you help me when I get home?"

A couple years ago a relatively tech savvy friend posted on FB about how email is totally inefficient and out dated, asking how anyone can be expected to sort through hundreds of spam emails every day, and demanding to know why businesses still use it or how anything ever gets done. I replied suggesting that he put in a ticket with whoever manages his company's email because that's not normal. He blocked me and I haven't heard from him since.

An email from a client came in with the subject line "I am very depressed". It's all I can do to not reply to it with the "bitch, me too, the gently caress" gif.

I went to a pre-sales meeting and we got a bill for the project managers time and a line item for the soda I drank. They were trying to sell us on a project. We did not go with them.

So we got those cool triple pods in our engineering department, and we bought 3 of them yet we only filled 2 of the 3 desks. Like there isn't actually a desk in one of the spots. "We can just add them in the future as we grow" Well why didn't you just buy 2 pods and fill them 100%? You're never going to buy another desk for those. Guess what! Those bitches want to add an engineering intern. Starts in 3 weeks. Asked the engineering manager (also the owner's kid who's in charge of furniture/remodeling even though I end up doing all the work), "So, can you order a desk for the pod where the other interns are?" He replies, "Why? Can't you just put a regular desk up there?" I said, "We could...but we're already wired in the pods, we'd have to run new wire to wherever you guys want the desk. Can't we just do this the right way? The whole plan was to add another desk in the pod once we hired more people" He replies with "It's only temporary she will be leaving in the spring" Then I said "do you leave your clothes on the floor and tell your wife it's only temporary? That doesn't make any sense." Then he says, "Just put a small round desk from downstairs in the pod. It takes 6-8 weeks to order a new desk and they start in 3 weeks. It's fine for an intern."

Yeah, we paid it and never went with them again. $5 for a soda, get the gently caress out of here. We were shopping for a new Cisco partner. That's a lot of god drat cash they missed out on. Cheap assholes.

gotta invoice them for your billing department's time

Should have counterbilled them for your time at the same rate, and add in $5 for travel expenses.

If you're responding to "email@atnt-wireless.com" and they tell you to go and buy $900 of iTunes vouchers which you do, then there is no email feature that is going to save you, other than perhaps not having an account.
