I received an email today
with To: line
one hundred emails long.
I was ticked.
Why?
Because my email was sent to 99 strangers.
Because my connection to this person
was broadcast to 99 strangers.
Because I felt she disrespected our relationship.
She immediately got dropped from my contact list.
I will hesitate to do business with her again.
Contacts are fragile.
Protect them.
Have you considered educating her on this instead? Many people doesn’t know what the CC and BCC fields are good for..
This is a pet peeve of mine. I have several times told a headhunter to use the bcc field after she broadcasted to everyone else on her potential candidate list that I was looking for employment. The other job-hunters were in the same field I am in… and while this could potentially have been good, it could have cost me my job.
Please use the bcc fields.
