Saying "Thank you" is Rude?
By Tiffany Dahlberg, Ready2ACT
With the advent of email and the increasing reliance on this technology, human beings are
communicating in person and via phone less often.
This disturbing trend not only impacts
our interpersonal relationships, but also our business productivity.
Although email is a
useful tool, problems arise when email is used inappropriately.
Just as there is etiquette for
face-to-face social situations, there is "netiquette" for communicating virtually using
technology.

Here are some Netiquette tips:
1.
Don t say anything that you wouldn t say in person.

2.
Be professional and careful what you say about others.

3.
Never assume your email messages are private.

4.
Keep messages short, simple, to the point, clear and logical.

5.
Save your email to read later if you are worried about your tone.

6.
Do not "reply all" unless everyone must get your response.

7.
Do not reply all with "Thanks" to an entire distribution list.
