o Think before writing

o Follow the writing rules. (Handouts)

How much attention doyou pay? How many linesdown do you read?
If no one reads your email, itis extraneous work, for youand for them.

What is the minimum you need to say to get your point across?

How to Kill Your Manager
Send a huge amount of long emails.
Make sure to only include problems, no solutions.
Ask him/her to make decisions in an area where he/she has no visibility.
Ask him to do your job for you. Don’t ever reply to email. Copy 15 or more people every time.
