Copied on Every Email

My boss said I wasn’t “working hard enough.” So I copied him on every single email Years ago, my boss called me into his office and told me I “wasn’t doing enough.” I was shocked- I was handling clients, solving problems, and constantly busy. His logic? He didn’t see what I was doing. So I started CC’ing him on every single email. Client updates? Copied. IT tickets? Copied. “Got it, thanks” responses? Copied. Within a week, his inbox was exploding. He pulled me aside, annoyed, and said, “You don’t need to include me on everything.” I just smiled and told him: But I don’t want you to think I’m not working hard enough. He never questioned my workload again.

A serious-looking, muscular bearded man appears behind a screenshot of a workplace story. An employee responds to a boss who says he is not working hard enough by CC’ing the boss on every email, overwhelming his inbox until the boss stops questioning his workload. The meme is used as a sarcastic reaction to micromanagement, unfair criticism, or proving how much work someone actually does.
