7 Deadly Virtual Sins

Have you ever thought that bad email habits, poor or quick responses can affect a person’s mental health? According to psychologists, bad behavior in electronic business correspondence causes more than simple irritation, but stress and nervous breakdowns in the workplace.
A team of scientists from Kingston Business School analyzed 28 email accounts of employees of various firms, and determined which messages raise the level of stress of the employee. We offer you 7 deadly sins that we admit in business correspondence: 1. “Ping-pong” – when very fast correspondence is conducted, and under pressure from both parties, as if fighting off messages from each other, the effect of “ping-pong” is created. In this case, the level of stress increases in both, and correspondence becomes useless. 2. Sending business letters during non-working hours, showing their dedication to the work, caused sharp irritability in the recipient. 3. Write a response to an email while communicating with someone else in parallel. 4. Completely ignore the received letter. 5. Request a request to read the message. 6. Respond to the letter without thinking for a moment. 7. Automatic responses. Lead researcher Dr Emma Russell said: "This study shows that even though what we think is most tailored and functional about how we work with our emails can have a negative impact on their mental health for many of the people we work with." Last month, U.S. researchers found that people who regularly use the Internet suffer from the same symptoms as addicts. About 5-10% of all Internet users experience web addiction. Brain research suggests that compulsive internet use can cause changes in some areas of the brain.
