Should someone inform the boss that these chain letters are bogus and scary? Should I send a link to Snopes.com?
  • Really; the writing is on the wall

    Frankly, I would consider what kind of career I could achieve working for a child or a company that condones someone at the manager level behaving like a child. But obviously I passionately hate those emails and have no professional respect for those who waste everyone else's time sending them.

    A option I would seriously consider is to set up an email rule that sends email from the manager with certain conditions (say with "FW: FW: *" in the subject) to the trash. When you're grilled for missing an email from that manager explain you have set up a rule because you have no interest, or time to waste, on ridiculous chain mail.
