Here’s another pro tip: When you write me an email that requires some information from me, and I don’t get back to you in a while, go ahead and check in with me to see if I’ll respond. But try me once to see what’s up, in case I might actually have a reasonable excuse for the delayed response, before CCing my and your boss to try and make me look like a fool. I’ll appreciate that you had the guts to call me out face to face, instead of getting your big brother to come beat me up.
Didn’t we learn this in grade school, people? You escalate when you’ve exhausted all of your other alternatives, not before. Otherwise, you’re a big wuss, and you’ve lost the respect not only of me, but of your superiors, too. They don’t want to be bothered with your petty squabbles.
Is there no honor amongst people anymore?
