It happens bazillions of times a day.
Worker No. 1 sends an email addressed to Worker No. 2 and cc:s Workers No. 3-6. (Or worse, No. 1 sends it to multiple addressees AND cc:s even more.)
So, who is responsible for responding? Just the primary addressee? Or all of the cc:s as well?
It’s an epidemic of CYA, for sure. As the email sender, if I don’t leave anyone out, no one can blame me for not seeking their input/informing them.
Well, all right, but who’s responsible for answering. (Generally, the more people listed, the fewer answers generated. Everyone assumes everyone else is taking care of it.)
I say, only addressees need to respond. If multiple addressees are listed, coordinate. Everyone can just ignore it.
What do you say?
