What 'Sent from my . . .' in your emails says about you

"The average U.S. employee clocks nearly 21 full business days working from their phone each year. That's according to new research from Adobe Acrobat, who surveyed over 1,000 full-time employees on their habits and opinions around work phone etiquette. As worklife boundaries continue to blur, the work doesn't stop when you step out of the office's four walls. For many employees, they now carry it with them in their pocket, checking emails first thing from bed, or making calls on the go between meetings."

"In the early days of the iPhone, the "sent from my . . ." signature conveyed status. Back in 2013, The Atlantic referred to it as a "humble brag." More than a decade on, and over half have used the brief disclaimer that you're simply too busy to be sat at a desk typing out a response. Turns out those three words are dividing the office: Gen Z are more likely to say it looks rushed or informal,"

"Gen Z respondents report spending 23% less time on their phones for work than older workers, with over one in four reporting it makes them anxious. And 21% even worried it will get them fired. This generation gap may simply be a case of seniority. Only 41% of entry-level employees have sent an email with a "Sent from my . . ." signature, the lowest of any job level."

Employees average nearly 21 full business days per year working from their phones. Over 1,000 full-time employees were surveyed about work phone habits and etiquette. Many workers check emails from bed and take calls between meetings, blurring work-life boundaries. The "Sent from my . . ." signature has shifted from a status marker to a common shorthand for being busy, used by over half of respondents. Gen Z spends 23% less time on phones for work, reports higher anxiety, and fears job risk. Entry-level employees use the signature least, while senior employees view it as signaling authority.
