When I send an email to multiple people, I address them lowest rank to highest seniority instead of highest to lowest.

Same. I also purposely address the woman first if they are equal seniority 😉

That’s what I do as well. I happen to know that this abhorrent human being in a director role psychoanalyzes things like this and she is so awful to work with so I get tremendous satisfaction from putting her midway in the email addresses. I overheard a conversation she was having once about how she should always be the first email listed and I ran with it. Every time I do it I think “take that you psychotic hussy!” 🤣

I had a coworker that would do that. I would intentionally leave him last to piss him off. He was really insecure about his position (he didn't have a college degree), so I am sure he dwelled on it for hours.

His mom got him his position. He was obsessed with titles. He even designated his own parking spot.

I do this for my direct reports.

Another power move: correct everyone on the prononciation of your name, even if they say it right.

I can’t say I’ve ever had anyone do this.

I used to put my immediate boss first as a naked show of kissassery. Since they denied my raise they don’t make it on the To lines at all and get to be confused by everything all the time. 🤷

Petty? Yes. Appropriate? Absolutely.

If I was the lowest level person I would actually be pissed off at you because then I would feel like it was my job to respond… anyone who puts my name first is not my friend

Last night at a downtown Orlando bar, I got approached by 3 different girls - 2 UCF students and 1 recent grad. I am much older.
Each conversation basically lead me to believe they were looking for a sugar daddy.
It seems that number of college girls and even those recently graduated looking for sugar daddies has increased tremendously.

Is this the post covid life or something else going on?

Has anyone not gotten a divorce because of very young kids, toddler ages, even though they(the husband and wife) make each other totally unhappy and at times feel wretched? I keep thinking we are such misfits but trying to be together due to kids. I talked to my spouse and she says she will only agree to divorce on 6 month custody with each parent. How can kids live like that? 6 months with one parent and next 6 with another sounds like a punishment to those kinder souls?
