Same. I also purposely address the woman first if they are equal seniority 😉
Oh. I like you.
I learned something new today. I enter names in order of how I think of them, never occurred to me to rank them

Yeah the effects of hierarchy are decidedly less weighty at the top of it.
There’s a Dali work about this… found it.
You are reading to much into this
I respectfully disagree.

Power move. I dig it. I’m going to need to start doing this.

I rank based on respect regardless of level
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.
Pro
His mom got him his position. He was obsessed with titles. He even designated his own parking spot.
You’re all evil and I love it

I like to alternate the names on every email so no one feels left out.
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
