Amazing that their processes failed and didn't work, so the VP lashes out at everyone calling them out for it. It's not like Microslop isn't a huge organization that is the critical component here. Extremely unprofessional response, I'll reiterate, they see regular users as a nuisance.

I guess the real problem is, everybody's inbox is overwhelmed with useless junk.

Expect someone read and follow instructions in email are not that realistic anymore

“Action Required” followed by the shittiest, least detailed, most ambiguous instructions on the planet is a Microslop staple. It’s exhilarating to get a couple of them in the same week.

The ones that tell you there’s a problem with your MS365 subscription, but don’t tell you which one are an especially exciting challenge to deal with. Bonus points if they warn about “possible data deletion” without specifying what.

These are real? I get these in my spam box all the time and they have all the hallmarks of a phishing scam, urgency combined with vague description with no verifiable details that aren't gleaned from my email address itself.

I get those too, and I don’t even have any Microsoft accounts. So I assume at least some of them are not real. ;)

While I do get a lot of mail, including a lot of spam, it’s not that bad.

And the real problem is that most commercial companies make their legitimate administrative/legal mails look more & more like spam or phishing mails, not the other way around.

>inbox is overwhelmed

This is (mainly) why I stopped using email.

If you need to send me something, you'll need to send me a postcard (PO Box).

Were I to ever go back to digital communication, it would be by whitelists, only.
