Ok, I'll admit I'm a barbarian. No clue when I should use it or not.

If you have to ask, you probably don't send anything worth copying anyone.

That's some awful fricking logic.

BCC is much better.

I CC folks on emails when they need to see my note/response. If not, I don't.

To: - Expect a reply (For the most part)
CC: - Don't expect a reply, just keeping them in the loop.
People CCing the world in a response when they didn't get their way with something is definitely a top 10 pet peeve.

If I get an email with a CC, I reply all. If I am sending an e-mail, I only CC people to them know whats up. As in, if I approved an order, I will email procurement, but CC my boss.

I CC when someone else needs to know what info I am sending. For instance, when I give the go ahead on a PO I CC my boss so he knows when I spend money. Another example is I will get an answer from a designer on a project and I email my super on site I will CC both of my assistant supers and my boss and my secretary so she can print it and put it in our binder.

I thought this until I had a client of mine ask me to stop looping him in on emails
most people don't want to know how the watch is made, in my experience

No problem. Just remember the main thing is that you need to use "reply all" every time, no matter what you're sending.

Depends on the content of the email. There's three times I probably use it the most (keep in mind this related to working in education):
1) When addressing an issue with a student, especially if there's another staff member involved I'll CC the parent/guardian or the staff member.
2) When addressing another staff member in a case where it's something I've asked them to do repeatedly and they have refused to do so or they're giving me a lot of push back on an issue, I ALWAYS CC their supervisor and/or our Principal. Because 99% of the time in those cases, especially in education, you want not just a paper trail but other people who have seen the communication.
3) If we're planning meetings, testing dates, etc. and I don't need someone's response but I include them out of courtesy so they know what's going on.

When someone needs to know but you don't want them to reply, use the CC. When you're trying to get something done, you BCC that person's boss. I know it's a dick move, but this one guy in particular takes a month to complete a 30 minute task.

Cas - you misunderstood my comment.....I meant when in doubt or if you want to play it safe don't CC people.
