Sep 12, 2017 at 20:58 | comment | added | Paolo | maybe it is culture-dependent but in my experience a blanket CC'ing is a symptom of something very wrong: it means that a person is not able to distinguish between trivial matter (exchange of details about a brunch) and information vital for the company (the details of a contract with a big customer that requires manager's approval/understanding). and a manager requiring that CC'ing may be a huge warning sign of micromanaging at work on full throttle! | |

May 16, 2017 at 11:21 | comment | added | Thern | I disagree. Emails are business issues and thus should be archived so that they can be retrieved later on when needed, but there is no need to cc every mundane detail discussion to the supervisor. | |
