When people had to do this by post or by internal snail mail (I lived to see this), things were much slower, which I claim was better. Doing too many things at the same time doesn't work. You don't get any of them done right. Now admin email comes "very efficiently" on a daily basis from both my university and my own department. I question the efficiency of this. There is a limit to "new ideas" and "new requests", that email (or Teams or whatever) don't respect.

  • @clemens@mathstodon.xyz Also, there is a difference between workplace email and optional, opt-in, communication media like this. Here I don't have any obligation to respond or act on any communication I get. But in workplace, and more generally academic, official email, I do.
