[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't CC your supervisor.  That's the most passive aggressive bullshit you could possibly do.  Just go have a conversation with this woman like a grown up if it's bothering you this much![/quote]

It depends on the person. We had this huge asshole at my previous job who would have sniped at you and backstabbed if you had said something like "Hey Larlo, [b]I noticed that it's difficult to get in touch with you during core hours on Fridays and Mondays. Can you please be more prompt[/b]?" Guaranteed drama for weeks. I'd rather be a passive aggressive bullshitter than deal with his obnoxiousness.

Then there are the generally normal, nice people I work with now who would totally understand if I said, "[b]Sometimes it's difficult to get in touch with you when you telework, but I need your feedback by COB Friday[/b]."

So you'll have to decide what works best for Larla's personality. [/quote]

These things NEVER read well in emails.  This is an example of a situation that needs to be handled in person or over the phone.  Preferably in person.  Too much gets lost in an email here and it could be an innocent question but the intent gets lost in the delivery.[/quote]

FFS is her job to read and respond to your email?  I often get messages at 2pm Friday that I don't respond to until the Monday or even later. B/c my job requires other work product than jumping on emails. If you need to reach her, call her. And you better not be calling just because you have your panties in knot, it better be truly urgent -- or your number will be blocked and right fully so

And that SAHM gossiping with her husband, she is a peach with a pit. [/quote]
