[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they do what you tell them to do, that is your response. An acknowledgement is great but a lot of people don’t like email and don’t want to clog up someone’s inbox with a “got it, thanks!” IME, the younger generation typically does not respond with a “thanks,” they just do the work, and they won’t even tell you that they completed the assignment, but it’s done.

… which is very unprofessional. I don’t expect a response from people included on emails for information only, or to emails that are just informational updates. But I definitely expect a response from people when the email described a task they have to do. [/quote]

Disagree. I'm in a very formal environment and we are not supposed to be clogging up people's inboxes with "thanks" or "on it". We have an official policy on it. It is considered rude to keep typing inane responses. You should send an email back though if you don't understand the task or something needs clarified.

You're supposed to send an email with a due date and it gets done. If the work isn't being done by the due date, that's what needs addressed. [/quote]

I don’t know what kind of process you work on, but I absolutely expect an acknowledgment of when the work is done. It is also very uncollegial not to engage with a new colleague at least once or twice to establish the relationship.

Well in my case, when the work is done they send it to you before or on the due date.

Of course we engage with new colleagues. Usually in person, on Teams chat or during a brief intro call.

I receive about 100 emails a day. I don't need that number to be 200 with people saying thank you nonstop. Or introducing themselves by email. [/quote]

It sounds like you are not in a project management role.[/quote]
