It's an interesting article, and mostly I agree with it. But, in my experience a worse office habit is when a manager decides everyone must stop using email and now use Facebook at Work, or One Note for everything, or Skype chat, or you name some other one of a million communication apps that waste time and make life more difficult at work. It usually starts when the manager goes to some workshop at a conference or reads a book on "productivity" that explains exactly how your office is doing it wrong by utilizing the most universal and adaptable communication platform, email. Soon 25% of the office is using the new app, another 25% is trying to figure out how to make it work, another 25% has filed a ticket with IT to figure out how to make it work, and a recalcitrant 25% is still using email in order to get actual work done.
