What are people’s thoughts about high priority emails?  These of course are the emails that arrive with the little red exclamation point next to it.   I feel like this feature gets brutally abused in Corporate America.  I hate when people send me emails with exclamation points on them.   Listen, I’m going to check my email when I check my email.   Sending it high priority doesn’t automatically send a message to my brain while I’m in the shower or driving that an urgent email has arrived.  And what makes you think your email is more important than all the other emails I receive?   I feel like it’s a real cocky move to send a high priority email.  It’s like your trying to boss me around or something.   As a result, lot’s of times I’ll put high priority emails at the bottom of my to do list.  It’s almost like a little pissing contest. And I feel like there are some people who only send high priority emails.  It doesn’t matter what the heck they’re talking about, it’s always marked urgent.   High Priority emails should be reserved for emergency situations only.  If you’re sending out more than one high priority email per month, than something is wrong.  The only time I send them is if somebody is clearly ignoring me and I’ve sent like 5 emails already without a response.  Then I’ll hit em with the priority email just to be a prick.   But other than that I never send the high priority email along.
