![]() Also, starting a message with "I wanted to..." or "I am writing to..." sucks. Don't do it. As in, "I wanted to let you know I've updated the TPS reports for May." And especially, "I am writing because I want to let you know that the TPS reports are updated for May."
In fact, I got one today "I wanted to follow up with you on whether you've done blah blah blah." I really want to reply and say, feel free to follow up whenever it's convenient. Why can't she just say, "Allan, have you done blah blah blah" or even, "Allan, I am following up blah blah blah" In fact, while still wrong, even saying "i am writing to follow up on blah blah blah" might even be better. I mean it's got to be better than telling me about something you wanted to do!!!! |

![]() Agreed again. I’m just pointing out a detail that this is an important detail if you want to advance as people are extremely sensitive about these things.

![]() No, I’m talking about completely reframing the message, too. Allan is and should be accountable for this issue, but I don’t state that even though it would make the message more clear for everyone what the actual problem is. It’s sacrificing content in a way.
I approve of doing this in external/upward communication where the team is really the accountable party and the failure to catch it is on everyone in a way. Where I’m not happy about this is where multiple teams are in play and one team screwed up, but none of us really call it out without being considered a problem child. The real issues get ignored because of this kind of crap, but I also know I’m going to need TPS reports every month from Allan and he’s a vindictive little prick. I’m not even talking about punishment or anything, just a preference for being able to say, “this is wrong,” rather than the diplomatic dance expected in corporate America. More billable hours, I guess.
