Common sense? Certainly not. I never do that. I just add people as they come to my mind. Sometimes I order by how important the mail might be for them (which is roughly the same thing, usually). If I had to work in an environment where people are so self-absorbed that they determine their worth from the order of the names in the carbon copy recipients list of an email, I'd look for another place to work in.
So if you send email to the owner of the company and to your colleagues on same level you put boss at last spot if they come to your mind as last?
BTw read what i wrote, again. There is no mention of it being mandatory in my post . It's similar thing to as when we used to hold door to next person so they don't get smashed by it. edit> I don't get what's so enraging on voluntarily ordering recipient in the mail boss > colleagues > intern.
I would. I certainly wouldn't inspect the order of the email recipients to see if I was given the right amount of "respect". I don't mind at all if someone wants to order the recipients, go ahead. But if someone gets angry at me for not ordering them, they can go get bent. I have better things to do with my time.
You are twisting what i said. Feel free to read it again.
Nothing twisted here.
Putting the people in an arbitrary order in a CC mail is not a sign of disrespect. The people who think it is can get bent.
You are twisting my point 180° . I said it's respectful to do that as sender. You talk about inspecting it as recipient and being rude back at a sender.
Again you change what i said here. You make that i said it's disrespectful not to do that and it should be enforced . I say it's voluntarily and that it is respectful to do that. Also there are more then two states to be in aside from disrespectful vs respectful.
They're saying that as a recipient, the order of names wouldn't matter to them, so they see no point in doing it as a sender.
You see it as a sign of respect, that's fine. Go ahead and order names how you choose. I do not consider it a lack of respect if I don't order them, so I don't.
I understand that, but i said multiple times it's not matter of recipient asking for it.
And I'm not forcing anyone do that. And i sad i have never seen anyone get scolded for it. I just say it's one of the way to show respect. What's so enraging about what i do to show respect for more experienced or senior people ?
