Are you being facetious or do you actually have to interact with greater then 80 emails a day?

[-] inmate_p01135809@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I stripped nearly all spam/unnecessary emails out and still get around 120 or so per day, about 100 of those work emails. I need to respond to maybe 10-20 emails a day, but I also get daily reports I have to read, project emails, support emails, emails from my kid's school, medical, financial...

Some jobs really are email operator in a trenchcoat

I sell and buy things all day, average emails per day over the last 3 years is about 120. 120 does not count auto responses from my system which go into their own folder automatically. I just emptied those last week, but it was like 93,000 in that folder. Took about an hour to delete them

I send like two emails per day and it’s exhausting.

[-] prettybunnys@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

sometimes GitHub hiccups and I get a bunch of emails and while I COULD set a filter up to make it so I don’t lose “important” emails in the deluge …. Fuck that.

[-] scytale@piefed.zip 6 points 2 days ago

I can imagine someone who works in sales, marketing, support, or an executive assistant can be using email that much.

[-] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

I sometimes get that many, quite a bit more if I count all the emails I automatically mark as read and put in a folder.

[-] Paddzr@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I will read that many, sure, but a lot of them are reports with a line or two.

I send 10 to 20 a day from those 400.

[-] Kekzkrieger@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago

those spammails don't write themselves brother.

[-] RogueBanana@piefed.zip 2 points 2 days ago

Pretty sure they were being sarcastic

[-] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago

I definitely have coworkers that field that number of emails a week.

I don’t, fuck that, but yeah our support team does for sure.

[-] RogueBanana@piefed.zip 2 points 2 days ago

Ah if you are in support then I can see getting ticket updates on email which could be a lot. But for someone in a project team, it would be a lot smaller I imagine. I do get a lot of useless emails from the company like shitty seminars, company news etc that I don't give a fuck about which could be like 15 or 20 a day but I don't read any of them so wouldn't count that.
