Half of the participants don’t contribute anything, but need to look busy so they have to lengthen the call with inane banter.
Most of my emails have nothing to do with me, but everyone is CCing me on stuff, just in case I might be relevant somehow. Particularly and they made a convenient distribution list that includes 300 people and people send to it all the time. Someone I’ve never heard of on the other side of the world was going to be unavailable because they were sick and I get an email. The automated test for some project I have nothing to do with failed again last night and I get an email. Every morning I am greeted with about 100 emails that happened overnight. Even the handful of threads where I have some relevance, it goes off topic and I have no idea if I’m relevant to the new message or not until I read it.

Corporate communication is just screwed.
