At my last job I auto-deleted everything from my manager. Anything she needed to communicate to me was done via teams anyway.
She got an absolute buttload of emails, because thats how the company worked for any but the lowest of the low. Every job you do (which can easily be dozens upon dozens) requires subscribing to a mailing list of absolute nonsense. Most people got several hundred emails a day. Management got around 1,000. Absolute braindead system. All tech roles (SaaS), and zero people who were willing to maintain proper documentation, except me but I only did it for end-users.
I was the lowest of the low and never got email that wasn’t important for me. Exactly the way I like it. Not like anyone is reading the 400+ mails a day anyway.
But what would happen is that she’d go through the daily onslaught of emails and find some relevant to her team and forward them on, not realizing we -only- got those emails, so instead of three emails in a day, we’d get 6. The original three and a set of duplicates.
No matter how many times I told her she was wasting her time and ours, she still insisted on doing it. Classic management.
