How do you feel about emailing people at work; on a personal level and sometimes about work?



i.e If that someone is unhappy with their boss and complaining about it to you? What do you say or do??

Annual mass ‘brag’ emails disguised as ‘holiday cards’?



What do you think when you get a mass email from a friend entitled Happy Holidays from us, that incls a link to a page that shows (brags) about their vacation, their new car, their new job, their trip to the Oscars in LA, etc.? I generally get a text only email from them each year, and do loathe its arrival. However, this year, they included pictures, too. I understand the lack of time which warrants a mass email–don’t agree with it, but understand. The issue is that a holiday card should be something wishing the recipient happy holidays, happy new year, etc., vs. a vehicle to brag about the material things you’ve acquired or enjoyed this past year. And no, am not jealous, it’s from two *** men, and I’m a woman who does pretty well for herself. :) Is it just me, or is this poor holiday etiquette?
on a side note, i hear from them quite often and already knew about all these things.
