Everyone is abusing that word "Urgently" in email.

We should stop doing that urgently

I have a very simple rule - any email with "Urgent", "important", or anything in ALL CAPS in the subject just goes straight to the bottom of the pile.

I have a filter for this, if it is truly urgent, you can walk your micro managing ass over to my desk and explain to me the how, what and why ~ karma

Urgent: DEVOPS team needs assistance.

I've written this twice since I've worked at my company in three years. Once for a 8 hour outage, the other for a company wide project that was going to miss the delivery date unless I got Management's attention.

Otherwise, it's a good rule to ignore the 12 in my inbox today

Especially when it's without actual work tickets that track my teams performance and workload

One of our customers email panic scale ranges from "Urgent:" to "URGENT:".

@cheat117 the beacons are lit! DevOps calls for aide!

@kwilliams know the feel man, one of my customers email is always" URGENT!!!", email body is uppercase... And signature is missing every fucking time ( i obviously know who the fuck he is)

As a IT-Supporter I can tell you, that urgent always gets used to death by people, for the shittiest cases.

I had once somebody who called IT for his Coffe Machine and said, he needs urgent support, because the big boss wants coffe. I told him to get coffe from our Cafeteria then and never call IT again for a FUCKING BEAN ROASTER

Add it to the spam filter.

I literally just made a rant about this...
