Most companies have guidelines about inappropriate use of email. The one I work for is no exception. I'm perfectly happy with it as I hate junk email and spams. However, my boss emailed us this week to tell us one of our colleagues had died. This was such a shocking way to find out. I didn't work with him, but he was there every day sitting in the office with the most amazing smile. And now he's gone - aged 28.
Am I wrong or is email a totally inappropriate way to communicate this sort of news?

I think a death warrants at least a staff meeting. It's always so much sadder when the person who died is so young.
it doesn't surprise me cos I could see that happening at you-know-where. easy and a cop-out way of telling people if you don't feel like dealing properly. isn't that how most mid-management would like to operate?
