People Who Put Photos of Themselves in Their Email Signature are Psychopaths

That’s where I see it. It would be even more unsettling in a private exchange.

WTF is this? We’ve been encouraged to add photos to our MS account bubble things for Teams meetings, and I “haven’t gotten around to it,” but your email signature? Never seen it.
The one guy I work with I think might be an actual psychopath put his initials in the bubble image thing. Not just the letters but like...he designed a stylized SC together and made that his little avatar thing. If I stop posting abruptly someday it’s probably because he got sick of things and took matters into his own hands

I just use a professional headshot for Teams & internal stuff.
I've seen the same for the initials. The other thing I see that is dumb is just random pics of stuff. One person has a dragon avatar on Teams.

I deal with salesmen so them having their phone & email in the sig is handy. I don't need to know what they look like. If I did, I would go search them on LinkedIn.
The corpo garbage is always interesting to me because it's like an unenforceable TOS.

I always have a chuckle when I see the ultra-catfishy picture a lady at my work uses on teams.

Seriously. I see so many Tinder-esque profile pics it blows my mind. Like, that dude in accounting isn't going to fuck you behind your husband's back, lady.

I used to set the pics up in SharePoint for our companies intranet and Outlook and there was always some cunt who had to replace my carefully edited B/W mood shots with a low Res "HEY LOOK AT ME! IM ON A MOUNTAIN AND IN COLOUR!".

I've only ever seen this in "cold call" emails from sales people. I agree that they are probably psycopaths.

To Whom it may concern,
Why have you not responded to my previous emails?
It would probably wise for you to do so.

For work, email is my preference. What is better in your opinion?

My favorite is these fucks send me emails like I’m the head of ops at some facility on the other side of the country because some bot found me on LinkedIn and they put together that first initial + last name is how our email addresses work. “Hey (full name that nobody calls me), are you the right person to talk to about CRM software?”
Ignore.
“Hey (full name that nobody calls me) it’s been a minute since I’ve heard from you....”

My company requires that I add all their jargon to my email signature.

In my experience, the only people that can get away with not having email signatures are executive level management who send 10 word emails from their phones with terrible grammar and punctuation. Once you’re the boss you get to stop caring I guess?
I’ve also had jobs where we had to have our picture in the signature because we only dealt with clients in person once every 12-18 months. In other jobs, it was mostly salesmen that did the photo thing.
I never did put that weird legalese garbage at the bottom of the email that is random nonsense about confidentiality and that you MUST destroy it if it’s sent to the wrong person or whatever. I’ve only ever seen people that are over 50 use that.

Mine has a standardized signature they want everyone to use but also they add all the confidentiality stuff and what conferences are going on afterward automatically

Top corner of my resume is the only place I keep a photo. Never as a signature. I've been away from social media...is this a thing?Prove me wrong.

Worse than a photo is seeing pronoun preferences in email sigs. Ugh.
