Yes, it can be hard, but honestly, if I worked at a place where I wasn't comfortable calling out hypocrisy, I'd look for another job. I tell the people who work for me to call out my own BS, and if I don't fix it, to report me to my boss.

In fact, that's related to how I left my last job after working there for 10-ish years. My boss (CEO) fired me because I pissed off his wife (President) by not working crazy hours. I had been there >10 hours, and was notified of a problem and helped fix it from home. They were both there only 3-4 hours/day and did a lot of WFH, but we weren't allowed to do that. They ended up keeping me as an outside contractor for a couple years because my contributions were so highly valued, but they didn't want me showing up in-person anymore (I apparently really pissed off his wife when I stood up for myself).

Work culture means a lot to me. If email is a core part of the company work culture, I'll push back on noisy emails and get a good system in place. If it's not, I'm upfront about largely ignoring the company email and ask people to contact me in other ways.

Man you are way overblowing all of this so much. Email is not a big part of my work culture. I'm just complaining about how annoying people are who don't communicate worth a shit. Every company has those people. Doesn't need to happen often to be annoying, even
