The Email Wars

I was working on Thanksgiving, of course, and reached out to a friend with a question. I was not expecting an answer, but was dually shocked to see this auto responder. Should we all be taking less time in the inbox to focus on work.

“Greetings!

Due to a high workload, I am currently checking and responding to
e-mail twice daily at 11a Pacific, and 4p Pacific (weekdays only).

If you require urgent assistance (please ensure that it is urgent)
that cannot wait until 11a or 4p Pacific, please contact me by phone
(call or text).

Thank you for understanding this move to more efficiency and
effectiveness. It helps me accomplish more to serve you better.”

Could not imagine only checking my inbox twice a day. Can you?
