CC:

So, I don't think that ANYONE in my office really understands how the carbon copy (CC:) feature works when they are sending emails. Just in case you aren't familiar with the way this feature works, let me explain it:

When you send an email to someone and you want someone else to see the email, you CC them on it. For example, when I am sending an email to someone at a different company I can CC someone else in my company so they know what I said and who I said it to.

I get emails from people from other companies who CC others in my office. Then, the people in my office forward me the same email. I can end up getting the same email two or three times like this. This is very frustrating to me for a couple of reasons:
1. The email was originally sent to ME and they were CC'd
2. It's redundant and inefficient
3. It's just plain annoying

So, anytime you see that you are CC'd on an email, please, for the sake of my sanity, do not forward the email to anyone who was originally sent the first email.
