Hi, art Director here from a pretty big agency. I’ve been at my company for quite a while and I need help. Can someone explain to me in the most idiot-proof manner, wtf is the difference between CC and BCC

just because no one else has said it yet, CC stands for Carbon Copy. BCC stands for Blind Carbon Copy.

CC: you see email and everyone sees that you see email.

BCC: you see email and only sender knows you saw email

helpful

ALSO when you CC someone and someone responds back, assuming they click respond all, everyone will be included on the email. If they just click, respond then they will only respond to the sender and everyone else will fall off the chain.

With BCC, since the person is invisible, they’re not included on future emails in the thread unless you drop them back into BCC when you respond (or someone else does).

Cc everyone can see the recipient list. Bcc, nobody can.

Currently at a job where I just don’t like people or the work all that much. Fewer clients possibilities (we’re basically an in-house team) than our sister office plus I have no desire for a promotion. Sister office is much more of an actual agency plus the culture is way more up lifting- I can vouch personally. I would love to transfer to the other office or just look for new opportunities. How do I bring up wanting an internal transfer without making it sound like I will leave otherwise?
