For any situation where "will do" is appropriate, a much better response is "done."


Thank you for this. I will be doing it going forward. (Sincerely - I never saw it like this before but I think you're absolutely correct).

Why? In response to "Hey, sorry." "Thanks" is short for "Thank you for apologizing." or "Thank you for being courteous." Seems like a perfectly reasonable response.



I still think it's awkward.

Email: "Hey Lisa. Sorry I was late. My kid is sick.
Lisa: "Thank you."

I could see it more if I was talking to my husband, but in that case I'd actually say thanks for apologizing, since I know he hates to apologize. But in business communications, it feels weird to me. I think that's why "no problem" was invented. It says "I accept your apology; let's move on."

How does " you are welcome" fit as a response to an apology?


It doesn't. People also use "No problem" as an alternative to "It's no bother." So if someone said "Thanks for updating the spreadsheet" some people answer "No problem." In this situation, you can answer "You're welcome."

"Roger" is common in my work environment (betcha can guess) and even though I'm an egghead civilian I think it is a useful term. In the specific scenario OP put forth I agree with the pp who said "I appreciate that" or "thanks for letting me know". I do find "no problem" irritating when "you're welcome" is the traditional term. Also, aren't we supposed to put what we're really thinking in hash tag? Lol #iwouldneveractuallydothatinaworkemail #thenagain...
