How much email activity is directly valuable to these individual workers vs boss and owner-mandated low-value nonsense?

It feels like blaming emissions on commuters as individuals instead of the ones making RTO mandates

At my previous employer, there was a kind of a top-down mandate to "use AI in your daily work to become efficient", which senior management would interpret in all sorts of braindead ways.

This, of course, lead to hilariously nonsensical emails, such as a IT security team member sending out a LLM-generated email about how users should be reading CVE reports for the software they use, instead of doing the right thing and lock out people running old software.
