"No email on Fridays"

I think this is pretty silly. Forcing people to talk to each other doesn't mean you're forging a working relationship.

And this cracks me up:

"The trend is seen as a backlash against a corporate 'crackberry' culture of impersonal communications. Last August, 400 Radio Shack employees received their pink slips electronically. In 2002, now-defunct accounting firm Arthur Anderson dropped the e-mail hatchet as well.

" 'I think it's been abused over the years,' said Ellison. 'We tend to use e-mail as a kind of a tool to hide behind issues versus getting up and talking to people.' "

Honey, if you're going to fire me, God knows I don't need a personal relationship with your sorry ass.
