An executive director’s LinkedIn post warning that failing to use “reply all” in emails could lead to job offers being revoked has sparked a heated online debate. The post criticizes younger professionals for not using this basic email function, citing it as a sign of unprofessionalism. The executive described the lack of awareness as a waste of time, causing unnecessary follow-ups and cluttering inboxes, urging people to “do better.”
The post quickly gained traction, with over 900 comments on LinkedIn and spreading to Reddit. Supporters argue that “reply all” is basic office etiquette, while others find the threat of revoking job offers over a minor mistake too harsh. Generational differences were also highlighted, with younger users explaining that they might not use “reply all” if they don’t think it’s necessary for everyone to see their response. Some even joked about the issue, with one Reddit user humorously questioning the lack of a “personal touch” in the offer email itself.
