I just don't open emails from my company unless the subject has the words Urgent or Action Required and even those I forward to the IT anti phishing email to annoy them, even when I know it's legit.
Simple always ask! Whether is the IT or your supervisor etc.
Now all you get is emails which say urgent, so you don't know which are actually urgent.
So far I've always installed a filter (at work, school, and privately) that removes the "high priority" flag from any mail.
If it can't wait, call me.
Yes, but also, don't call me.
Yeah fuck that... My voicemail says to email me. I will ignore your call, and then reply within 30 seconds after you email me just to demonstrate without question how you need to contact me moving forward.
In fact, don't contact me at all.
Thankfully they aren't that dumb to do that
You're lucky then.
