LA Observed: Email tells staff to read email

Email tells staff to read email

Kevin Roderick • Bio • Email

Ron Fineman.com (pay only) has the memo from KTLA Channel 5 general manager Vinnie Malcolm directing staffers to pay attention to memos--like his.

Dear Fellow Employees,
It has been brought to my attention that several employees do not open their emails sent from internal addresses. Some people simply delete without opening them. This is unacceptable and can be traced to the offending parties. Internal communication is extremely important to the lifeblood of the organization. If you are someone who does not open their emails, I would encourage you to do so. This sort of behavior will not be tolerated.

Thanks for your cooperation,
Vinnie

Actually Len, it was an "all" email sent to the entire KTLA staff, according to Fineman.
