Our company has an email tag standard. That is your signature should look the same as everyone else, with you name, title and phone number all in a nice, professional looking font. That doesn’t, however, stop people from putting things like a favorite quote or bible verse on all their emails as well. Other companies do things like put surveys or sales pitches, but I have noticed that people still want to be unique so they will make changes to make it their own. I have seen one of my favorite quotes from Steven Wright “Curiosity killed the cat, but for a while, I was a suspect”. Yesterday, someone’s tag was a GIF of the TV character Urkel dancing. I struggle with putting something on mine. I don’t want to put some founding fathers quote that makes me look pretentious or something goofy that might get me in trouble with my boss. I would rather my emails say what they have to say, and I save all my weirdness for this blog. That way I share the strangeness with only you!
