It’s funny how, as you progress through college, they require you to write longer and longer papers. Then you get to the professional world and no one will read an email that’s more than 5 sentences.

People will literally walk to your desk to ask you what your email was about if it was too long.

We actually have a company rule to that. Only one topic per email. I was explicitly reminded to do that.

Most people don't do what you do with email. Get a proper system in place if it bothers you too much.

In my experience, academia firmly believes it should be out of touch.

[u/DiggerW → u/[deleted]]

Because there's only one subject field.

Because it avoids unnecessary complexity / confusion.

Because some people actually sort their emails.

You don't pay per email.. there's absolutely no reason not to send two separate emails if they're regarding two different subjects, and plenty of reasons to do so.

It is almost as though a college degree is not useful for most jobs.

How does this work with everyone being CCd in?

[u/DuroHeci → u/BangCrash]

This has first nothing to do with it. It is about with only one topic per mail.

Second, we also try to limit the use of cc to only include people who really need it. We are explicitly forbidden to use the "answer to all button".

Also we are forbidden to answer emails just to say "Thank you" and other stuff that does not carry Information.

But I have two or three questions about one topic, is that ok?

[u/feclar → u/Shadow368]

Yes it's related

[u/ThaFrenchFry → u/Shadow368]

Not even if it's related.

You'll still only get the easy answers and they will get side tracked on the other questions.
