Think twice before you copy someone on an e-mail or hit "reply all." Such practices have made today's workers less productive, a research firm concludes.

    • oops. i actually made a boo boo the other day when i was sending out a political email and put all the addresses in the main line instead of BCCing them.
      and it started a war basically.
      oh well.

    • WOW.. And it is so true! I work from home, and CURRENT is a CONSTANT distraction for me. I run my own business, so I can surft the web all day without looking over my shoulder. NOT GOOD. It really does hinder my potential productivity. No matter what I'm doing, aside from showering, when I hear outlook ding, I'm running across the house to see what's new in my email. Scary isn't it? I should head over to China for a little Internet Rehab! ha ha ha okay, I gotta get back to work.

    • I'll think twice about it, there's nothing worse than getting an email from a 'friend' who has cc'ed the majority of the Western world in on your email...

      What kind of a friend does that...
