This was fantastic. Thank you for posting it. All of us must be concluding that there has to be a better way of communicating inside a company. Besides the interruptions to focus, think of the wasted time and resources originating, transporting, and storing information that gets deleted. And if 20 people get the same message that they wish to save, it gets saved to 20 .pst’s instead of one! Sustaining that storage is a 20x waste of energy. If our energy were rationed (and isn’t this what our power company has been contemplating?), wouldn’t unsolicited information and multiple backups of the same message be first to go? Anyway, it was a strange relief to see this malady hits all levels in an organization.
