    This is my work insisting on using people’s roles for their email addresses “so the accounts can be reused when they quit.” Thats, not how any of this works.

      You might want to look into letting them reuse yours, that place sounds painful.

      Do… do they think email accounts are a rare resource? Of all the things to be concerned about, they’re worried about conserving something so intangible, cheap, and abundant?

      Not sure how that’s supposed to help Line Go Up, but okay.

        It makes sense for some outside facing roles. For instance, you may want all vendor billing going to [email protected] rather than an individual.

        I wouldn’t do it for the whole company, but it could have some uses.
