Hey team, I’m losing it—how do I know if my emails are even getting read?

I’ve been sending out important work emails left and right, but I’m always left wondering if anyone’s actually opening them, which is driving me up the wall with follow-ups. I tried turning on read receipts thinking it’d help, but it feels like I’m nagging people, and some just ignore them anyway, leaving me stuck in a guessing game. It’s been a real hassle trying to keep track without annoying my coworkers.

I checked out https://echodittolabs.org and their article on read receipts was a game-changer—it showed me they can help but also stir up privacy vibes, so I tweaked my approach and finally got confirmation on a big project email yesterday without ruffling feathers. It saved me from sending a dozen follow-ups and even gave me a chuckle thinking how I almost turned into the office nag! Take a peek at their piece when you can - it’s got great tips to use read receipts without starting a workplace war!
