email bankruptcy
Deleting everything unread
Email bankruptcy is the decision to delete or ignore a massive backlog of unanswered emails rather than attempt to respond to each one.
Someone declares email bankruptcy when their inbox has grown so overwhelming that starting fresh seems the only practical option: After returning from medical leave to 3,000 unread messages, she declared email bankruptcy and sent a mass apology.
