I think, Gee, that some people do not see the problems caused when you are missed off an email and also not realise the importance of keeping Group Lists up to date - obviously some emails are not as important as others but when it concerns payroll it is!!
As one of the executive secretaries, could you instigate a memo/email to be issued from an executive boss for people to update their Groups Distribution Lists with immediate effect and perhaps a few examples of problems this may cause if they are not updated (anything concerning salary usually makes people think twice
)? Not usually something an executive boss gets involved in but it may give it a bit of weight.
If you don't get the email, you can't action a request and therefore cannot be 'blamed' if something is not done but I know you would not want to work like this - neither would I.
Perhaps the pester method - at the end of every day check if you have been added to a list you are not on and if still missing, call the person concerned. They may get fed up of you calling and just do it.
Could it be possible that they do not know how to update the list but do not want to admit to it? Unlikely I know but they may not be the person who initially created the list and do not want to admit they do not know and feel embarrassed to ask?
Still enjoying my job but desparate for a permanent one to make my own (and one that will pay more money). After Christmas will be having a big push to find one
