I understand where they're coming from; I read the messages as I process them, unlike some other operators. There's a lot of stuff in there that impacts your job yet you can safely ignore it until there's a crisis. No one wants to be the guy who has to go up to their boss and say "We've got new orders, and it's to do the something other than what we just spent a literal million dollars of other people's money and six months of already disgruntled people's time preparing for."

>if there is no written record, something written in an email or something.
where I work every message is tracked by like six different systems and every recipient (of which there are always more than you!) is required by law to retain it on top of that. I don't take the "battle secretary" job very seriously, but I take the traffic itself very seriously, as should everyone. A lot of it is junk, and I can't expect anyone to read all of it, but it has to exist and if you're in a management position you should at least skim it. At the very least, provide some control orders for what gets forwarded or shoved in your face at breakfast. Most officers can't even be expected to do that.
