So what's the deal with read receipt requests? Are they timing people once they have that notification? 🙄

Depends on the intent - I’ve used it (per instruction of my then-boss) when sending out internal audit report drafts/findings whereby no response (but read/opened email) from the recipient within 3 days means no dispute to our findings. My then-coworker uses his read receipts on all his emails explaining it calms his anxiety to know his email was sent/received successfully

I think the latter is for this person. It's internal communication with very little to no value, in my opinion of course. Maybe to them it's a pressing matter.

I use them for emails where I’m requesting something. It helps to know if you even opened my email, or if I need to annoy/stalk the crap out of you for the next week.

Hello Fishes,

I currently hold offers from below:
IBM - 15.5 LPA
CTS - 18.5 LPA
PWC India - 16 LPA
Oracle Financial Services Software(OFSS) - 21 LPA

Planning to join OFSS as I will work in product development team and can work in any shift timings with WFH.

Today I had my 2nd round interview with EY GDS and got rejected.
Do I need to worry about this and feel low?
Could EY GDS would have been better instead of OFSS?

Please provide your valuable inputs.
