You know what I don't get:

When you're at work, and someone sends an email wishing X person a happy birthday, they attached EVERYONE in the company to the email. Then, everyone else starts to click on "reply all" to wish person X a Happy Birthday, so you literally wind up with tons of emails. Why don't they just reply to person X individually, as to not clog up everyone's email?

I know getbiggers have indepth knowledge on every subject, so I thought I'd pose the question here.

Thank you.

In before someone says, "Getbiggers don't have jobs."

Everyone has to reply via 'Reply All' so they will get credit for their birthday wishes and not be seen as a non-team-player.

I normally send the person an individual email, as to not disturb people's work email with an unnecessary email.

Right, but then everybody else in the whole freakin company doesn't know what a great guy you are. Which is the real motivation behind wishing happy birthday to some co-worker you couldn't care less about.

You’ll have to speak to the powers that be at Sears and Robuck to straighten this out.

I guess as Dan-O said, everyone wants to be recognized and they do not want to feel left out, so others don't think they didn't join in.

Ill actually just wish the person a happy birthday if I pass them or whatever. I rarely will even send an email.

In person is better.

Social media taking away from the human experience.

Deadz, good point.

I think I am going to bring it up to upper management at Sears and Roebuck. I don't need 100 emails while I am trying to help people on the floor and run the cashier.

I work with a team of 25 people and maybe 2-4 do what you describe. It doesn't bother me, but I guess it gets annoying if you work with a large number of people.

25 emails is still one too many emails!!

I don't respond to birthday mails, nor to the endless "I'm leaving after xxx years". I do not care about colleagues in general, only a few who I'll keep in touch with. When I do leave my current job Ill be sending a mail to my manager and 1-4 people.

Fortress · « **Reply #17 on:** June 21, 2018, 04:17:14 PM »

Birthday wishes are for women and phaggots.

99.9% of the time I will not respond to everyone in the email.

If I choose to wish someone a happy birthday, I am going to do it on my own time, without having to announce it to the whole company.

Emails are all inclusive, just how you liberals like it.

Not if they click “reply,” instead of “reply all.”
