There's no denying that the average corporation would collapse without the invaluable support of their internal mail system. No matter how experienced you are, drafting a particularly essential email can be a nerve-wracking experience — but it's also an essential one.

While many of us love to complain about meetings, they do have a worthwhile purpose sometimes. However, this pales in comparison to the multipurpose catchall of emails. No matter how persnickety they can seem, emailing is a form of professional communication that is both efficient and essential for keeping a record of all those important workplace conversations.

This is something that has been underlined in a recent Twitter thread, in which a young employee insisted on the importance of emails. Rejecting the idea that she solely appreciated them as a face-to-face communication-averse Gen Z, people of all ages chimed in to agree with her. If in doubt, always get it in writing.
