Stop Annoying Everyone With These Common Email Mistakes. Mistake #5: Expecting an Immediate Response
Even though sending an email is a
quick and immediate process, getting an immediate reply is not guaranteed, says
Holmes.
“Many people have conflated email and text messaging, and they are not the
same thing,” he says. “When you’re sending a non-urgent email to a coworker,
it’s important to remember that they might have other things to do that may be
more of an urgent issue or may not have even seen your original message yet. Living
in a culture of increased instant gratification is resulting in us becoming
more accustomed to it, and has made people increasingly impatient.”
