Is BCC the secret weapon of office "tattletales"? Find out as we dive into workplace email ethics, sharing a spicy anecdote about a friend who got burned by a "Reply All." We break down when using BCC is actually helpful—like keeping assistants in the loop without sparking drama—and discuss how some companies are restricting email functionalities to prevent misuse. Plus, we share a challenging scenario from anti-harassment training that will make you rethink your communication strategies.
