The rules of communication by e-mail at work

In an active office life, when communication with people happens all the time, e-mail is one of the most popular ways to quickly deliver the necessary information without resorting to the phone and not getting up from your desk.

Despite the fact that writing a letter seems to be a matter of habit, do not forget about some rules of communication using e-mail.

Humor
At some points, it's nice to send a colleague who literally starts to "smoke" from work, a funny postcard or a funny poem, and thereby distract him for a while, making him laugh quietly at the received letter.

But sending a letter with humor, remember that not all jokes are equally appropriate. Do not put jokes, which are about religion, politics, sex, nationalities. Such topics can affect someone's feelings and prejudices, especially if one considers that people have different points of view on such questions.

Informal correspondence Of course, if you communicate with a well-known colleague, whom you already consider to be your friend in the smoking room or answer the letter, the hot correspondence in which lasts for several hours, then you will not start every response with the words "Good afternoon, dear ) ... "

And yet, do not forget about the norms of courtesy: your letter is best to begin with the words of greeting or treatment by name / name patronymic.

It is not allowed in the correspondence to use obscene expressions (even if the words themselves are lined up in a long sentence, in which out of decent only unions). Better drink a cup of coffee, breathe air, and then with new strength write your answer.

Not allowed in the correspondence discussion of the chief or another employee. After all, you can not give a one hundred percent guarantee that this letter does not accidentally reach the "object of criticism."

Copy of the letter
Often several people take part in the discussion. However, when sending a letter, each time, check who is in the copy. You do not need to send a simple "not for nothing" or a smiling smiley for one, to everyone who is listed in the copy.

There are cases when you want to express disagreement on someone's proposal to solve the problem, but by pressing the "send to all" button, we forget to remove from the list and the person who made this offer.

Sending a letter to several addressees, make sure that all unnecessary is removed from the letter, which should not be read by other people.

Be careful, check several times on what you send. And if the issue is delicate, then nobody canceled the personal conversation.

"Incendiary" information

When the collective is united, there is nothing wrong with that often free time is spent together. Corporate parties, birthdays are a wonderful occasion to have fun again. At such events funny and funny pictures are often made. Some of them go on social networks without permission.

Be careful when marking someone in the photo, no matter how gay she did not seem to you. After all, the holiday is a holiday, but there are people who would not want their relatives or the boss to see them, for example, when performing an acrobatic number "back somersault". Or the employee said in the family that he is delayed at work under a modest pretext that there are many cases, but here are laid out photographs where he does not solve the pressing problems, but is having fun with his colleagues.

All the more it is uncultured to send these photos to another employee in order to show "all the gaiety" of the situation.

Respect people. And if you really want to post photos, then before that, ask the person if he gives it good.
