Corporate Email Subject Line: "Please read: You have been fired."
Check out this great post I just ran across at “General Smelectric”, a spoof blog as far as I can tell. A funny example of extreme internal spam. A lot of it rings true…
Recent research has shown that out of 300,000+ employees:
- 95% do not read this email
- 33% automatically filter it into a folder marked “SPAM”
- 60% who do open the email scan through it for notifications on discounts or contests, then Shift-Delete it when finding nothing
Thus, going forward, instead of “The Latest at General Smelectric,” Corporate Communications will be using the following subject line: “Please read: You have been fired.”
