Does anyone else’s job require them to read every single work email and reply to most of them, even when a reply doesn’t really feel necessary? My work expects me to do this, and honestly, I hate it so much. Sometimes I wonder if I should focus on actually finishing my tasks, or spend time replying just to acknowledge emails that don’t really need a response?

I feel like not everyone has to deal with this… or do you?

Mine does and the area director get mad and then calls you on group email.

Your area director is same as my group manager. What beyond my understanding is that people at this level of management have time for such things. I mean don't they have other important tasks to perform?

My last job was like this they were extremely strict about it. Once I had decided to start job hunting, I allowed myself to go full-petty and turn up the malicious compliance. My boss's "thank you" email reply would get a "thank you" email reply in return.

I don't understand why some companies have such thing in place. I am hoping to change my job soon as well due to these petty policies.

They do for customer emails only.

I am glad your company does not have such thing.
