I still don't understand the purpose of this btw. It seems like excessive control for whoever has this. Like, OMG, they read my email but didn't respond. The sky is frackin' falling.

Just because someone reads something doesn't mean they'll perform the action needed.

I firmly believe people who have read receipts on just don't have enough work and want their email boxes to be filled up. lol.

People do this for several reasons:

- They think being "professional" means being overly formal (it doesn't)
- They've never read a book in their life and their expression is poor
- They are being passive aggressive

Whichever it is, I instantly think less of a person who communicates like this.

Not where I'm at. I have pretty broad powers in my job, but not universal sweeping powers. When I ask over my limits, I always present options, recommendations. What am I supposed to say next, 'Potatoes or fleshlight?' ? Please advise is short and to the point, rather than a 97 word paragraph saying 'wtf do I do next?'

Good afternoon team.


First I'd like to thank everyone for their efforts on this weeks project. Department 6 on floor 7 his increased their productivity by roughly %18 this fiscal year. I'd like Chad and Stacy from accounting to close the loop on this for the rest of the company. However we need to discuss some improvements in our sales department. I'd like us to streamline our process for shipping and transactions. Timothy from shipping and receiving: Please advise.

Thank you.

Retired engineer here. After providing several solutions to solve a problem, I'd use "please advise" so the decision-makers would let me know which to proceed with.

I used to always use "Best Regards" until I accidentally wrote "Best Retards" as I was answering an email on the road.

Now I just use "Thanks"

I use "as per my last email" when im pissed rather than saying fuk you, you cant read/follow directions, some of the jargon is gold for pissing people off while still being work appropriate.

"Please advise" makes you come off as an entitled prick.

In plain english it's "I can't do it, stop what your'e doing and help me please!"

Most of the time it's used when people are too stupid/lazy to figure things out on their own.

I do this occasionally. It does sound a little douchey, but its the only way to approach a situation when you've given multiple options and need a timely response.

I don't understand it either. Especially since my boss complains about have too much work, "too much on my plate" and rationalizes not replying to emails the first time around. A lot of the time I email him, don't get a response, "oh I didn't see it. I have a million things going on right now!" Yet he wants as you said a clogged up inbox.

time to get the ball rolling and action that project. Hit the ground running, and determine if its a strategic fit. The bottom line here is we have to play hardball. Be results driven and it will be a win- win for everyone.
