Lieberman: McCain Best Choice to Lead

Read: "Lieberman: I Want a Cabinet Spot."

Though I don't necessarily disagree with his position.

Reply to All: How NOT to Use

Brief note: The comment function is currently not working on my blog. I may be moving sites soon. I'll keep you posted.

A company-wide email was sent today regarding a new health plan, and a string of replies to all followed. I found the first few annoying, but each since has left me in tears from laughing so hard. Here are the replies. These went to everyone in the company, mind you, including VPs and probably the President. Names have been removed to protect the stupid.

I don't think its fair to penalize someone who goes to the dr. twice a year, walks 4 miles a day and swims 3 times a week.

Amen to that.

I must be missing something. I don't see anything about penalties. Please explain.

STOP REPLYING TO ALL !!!!!! EOM

why not reply to all, what is wrong with an open discussion?

Because you are supposed to be working!

Because most of us have work to do and don't want to see it!!!!

Stay out of this Joel.

yes please stop replying to all!!!!!! or at least take me out of your list!!!!

The 'reply to all' is a notice of this increase noted in this email.... Carol was making sure we ALL caught on to this increase. She apparently exercises and has minimal health care needs, but she is being "penalized" by this increase when she has not had any decrease in her own wellness. For those you who have work to do and may not have had a moment to really read this health email ... She did you a benefit in pointing this out.

That's my point exactly about this whole program. I don't have time to be filling out surveys and taking blood tests during work hours.

Yet you have time to read and write about the subject. . . . .

Yes...she has time to read and briefly comment on the subject. In case you didn't realize blood tests and surveys are slightly more time consuming then skimming over an email.

It is time to invoke two of our core values...
We Value People
We Trust and Respect Each Other

Thank You!!!!
It's time we start speaking out and talking to each other about these issues that are impacting us...

Look people, I don't know who most of you are and I sure don't appreciate getting 50 thousands e-mails about something that does not affect me.
