Veritas Software's Jeremy Burton, vice president of worldwide marketing, outlined a new policy, ironically, in an e-mail. Almost two months ago, the executive decreed that Fridays in his department would be e-mail free. If his 240 co-workers want to get a message to someone, they have to use the phone or even pay that person a visit, the Wall Street Journal reported. 'E-mail is supposed to be this big productivity tool,' Burton said. 'But it's getting to the point where it is out of control.' He was spending two hours a day dealing with e-mail. 'The more you send, the more you get,' Burton realized. The first reaction to his e-mail banning e-mail was a flurry of messages, with Veritas (VRTS: news, chart, profile) employees asking each other if it was real. But they have now gotten used to it, the Journal reported. Now, they phone, they talk and they walk.
