[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]emails are NOT formal. when email first launched, and yes, I must be a dinosaur, they were meant to be a quick form of communication

I hate all the flowery language some people use. Just get.to. the.point[/quote]

+1: This is me. I’m direct and to the point in emails. My boss and many of my co-workers are not, which led to my boss admonishing me for being “aggressive” and “angry” in emails. I explained to him I am direct, not aggressive or angry. Flowery language is not necessary in an email. [/quote]

There is a difference between flowery and being courteous. Saying hello is no skin off your back. If your boss has talked to you about it, sounds like you are coming off as aggressive. That’s your office culture. You probably came off as angry and aggressive in your defense.   [/quote]

+1  If your boss has to speak to you about it then you're the problem, not him.  Try to adapt a little.  It won't kill you.[/quote]

Doubt it, we joke at work ... women always get the "your emails are aggressive" BS meeting. We joke that we need to create a training class on how not to be a pu$$y at work for men.

Get over it. We even pulled a few emails from men and compared them to women's emails... guess what just the same.

You were just socialized to have women pat you on the head ever turn, you need to just relax and stop the need to be coddled so much.

How is that for aggressive.  :mrgreen:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol: [/quote]
