'He... had to delete 40 pages of emails': Boss insists web developer send him emails for every 404 error

This boss is requesting more emails. In today's day and age, that's a surprising request, because most of us get more emails each day than we can possibly read! If you aren't getting spammed with dozens of random email each day, congrats to you. If you've found a way to avoid the scourge of constant emails, more power to you. Emails have become a bit dated in many businesses. Instead, people have pivoted back to instant messaging in order to quickly contact people. After all, many people can respond to instant messages, you know, instantly. If you email someone, you might have to wait several days to hear back from them, and that's if they notice that email among the dozens of others piling up in their inbox. 

As a web developer, this person was notified of a website issue by their boss. But this boss didn't think they handled the situation well: he explained that every time a customer saw a 404 error, they might lose that customer's business. This is a valid concern for any business owner, but this boss certainly didn't think through the consequences of his request to that web developer, as you can check out in the story below. The web dev also left a bit more info in the comments, but commenters disagreed on how this person should've handled the criticism. 

Next up, these folks visited someone's home for the first and last time and lived to tell the story, like the person whose hosts told them, "Did we mention we've got bedbugs?" Eeeek!
