Is Email Spam Costing You?
It sure is costing me!
While writing my last entry about email spammers, I started realizing the time and money email spams costs me on a daily basis. I really think these spammers owe me (and you) some money! No, I’m not joking, I’m dead serious - just think about it!
When I sat and figured the time it takes me to wade through and delete spam from my Spam Folder every day AND the time it takes me to delete the “unfiltered” spam from my Inbox every single day- I couldn’t believe it. Now, mind you, I have 3 email accounts to deal with (which you may not), but I figured on average I waste about 20 minutes per day just dealing with this junk. Unreal!
Now 20 minutes a day may not seem like much, but when you consider that 20 minutes a day equals about 122 hours per year - WOW! I personally can’t afford to lose 122 hours a year on spam!
It really gets much worse when I think about this company wide, because when I add in the time Mike spends on fighting/deleting spam (more than me) and the time our small but effective number of employees spend deleting spam (somewhat less than me) - we’re looking at approximately 400 hours per year!
I’m sorry (really no, I am not sorry) but I am truly offended and sickened that 400 hours of valuable time (AND MONEY) is wasted on this - simply because email spammers keep getting away with what they do!
