Study shows the most savage ways to begin or end an email
Email greetings and signatures might be more annoying than you think, but we all experience plenty more gaffes, annoyances, and misfires in our inboxes.
Preply surveyed 1,005 Americans to find out how they feel about a variety of greetings and sign-offs arriving in their inbox daily.
Key findings:
- Almost half (46%) of survey respondents said they can tell a coworker’s mood based on their greetings and sign-offs.
- Nearly everyone (91%) says the people they work with are sometimes passive-aggressive over email.
- When it comes to aggressive emails, the most “savage” greeting/sign-off is actually no greeting or sign-off at all.
- 76% of respondents say the email greeting is more important than the sign-off.
- 65% say to stop using “Sent from my phone, please excuse typos”.
