A Mumsnet user has split opinion on the parenting website after revealing their company’s email policy which had caused upset among new hires.
The worker asked fellow members of the popular Am I Being Unreasonable forum whether what they considered to be a “normal and acceptable” form of email etiquette was going too far. The post was sparked by a number of recent complaints from people joining the workplace.
The Mumsnet member explained that the business had a formal email policy in place which all new starters had to learn. The rules around emails included reading everything in your inbox by the end of the day, and replying to emails within 24 hours.
