[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would wonder if I were inadvertently stepping on a fraught topic. When you talk to them, do you get better info? Is email not the typical method of communication at this company?

I would assume there is more to this than just not responding.[/quote]

Not really - communication is a weak point at the company overall.  I will just send routine emails: indicating next steps on a project, asking questions, etc.  Nothing controversial.  I just don’t get acknowledgments or thanks (fine, not every place has a culture of giving thanks), but I just find it really off-putting to get NOTHING.

For example, I work on an internal program that involves several people.  I sent the key people a kick-off email outlining dates and deliverables.  No response to the email from either responsible party, but I checked the shared document and they’d done what’s needed.

I then forward that information to marketing and have gotten no response.

Maybe this is email etiquette for the new age but I am only in my late thirties and I thought it was customary to at least acknowledge communications in a timely way, or at all.

I do not inundate people with emails, either.  This is all very routine. [/quote]

Wait you send emails that don’t require a response and want people to just email you back saying they saw your email?  This is not typical.  I thought you were asking questions you weren’t getting answers to.[/quote]

That also happens. I’ve never encountered this anywhere else. [/quote]
