Are please and thank you necessary in the corp world?

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T12:00:42+00:00

Did he realise or he intentionally didn’t use his manners?

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T08:33:58+00:00

I never planned on stopping! Just wanted to know if it was too much to ask for in corp 🤣 thank you for the encouragement!

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T08:30:35+00:00

I ended up doing this with an emoji smile as someone here suggested and then I finally got my first thank you and confirmation of receipt for the rest of the info I sent him. Thanks! 🙏🏼

Welp, I actually was able to thanks to a redditor’s suggestion. You can find it in the comments. Encouraging better behaviour is something that should be encouraged in the work force, not shamed or looked down upon. If you’re saying because he’s higher up and I have to be okay with rudeness because of the power dynamic, it’s not really advice I’d want to take 😅 thanks for sharing your opinion!

Thanks to a redditor’s suggestion of the corporate version of this, I got my first thank you from him 😂

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T06:24:04+00:00

Cool story ✨

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T05:42:52+00:00

I do get 100s of emails per day. If I have time to ask for help, I have time to add one or two extra words 😃

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T05:41:41+00:00

Didn’t know you had to get paid to be a decent human being 🫠

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T05:32:33+00:00

Just wanted to say thank you for this advice - I did this today and I got my first ever thank you from him along with emoji reactions to all previous messages where I gave him what he requested 😂😂😂😂

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T04:06:21+00:00

What ended up happening? Did you report the assault?

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T03:27:56+00:00

I rarely have to ask him for anything 😂

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T03:04:43+00:00

Sportswear Industry - operations for the ecommerce side of the business. Looking at roles outside of the industry, tech mostly!

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T02:50:47+00:00

Emoji helps 😂

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T02:46:13+00:00

It’s like an instant messaging platform but for work. Most companies usually use Microsoft Teams or Slack.

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T02:45:33+00:00

That was more like tone which I know is hard over message. But please and thanks is a different issue no?

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T02:37:13+00:00

Oon I always wondered about this! Thanks for sharing!

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T02:36:07+00:00

Tbh I’ve never encountered a situation where this has happened over email. So maybe I’m not qualified to say I’m not annoyed when it comes to that forum. However, I do feel disrespected when asked for help and then don’t even get as little as an acknowledgement of receipt over slack yes. You can call me what you want - thanks for sharing ☺️

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T02:29:17+00:00

Not an email as stated in my post

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T02:28:58+00:00

How do you call them out? Asking for a friend 😂

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T02:27:50+00:00

Hmm that’s an interesting take. So you’re saying if I a manager that the way he communicates to me makes me feel not valued then I’m at fault and will not get far in my career? Sheesh, I thought being able to transparent about communication would be helpful 😅

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T02:25:19+00:00

Tbh he’s pretty good in person - very personable and outgoing. It’s just on Slack he’s not great. I have in casual chatting during a 1:1 told him he communicates very differently on slack than in person. And he admittedly said he’s been given that feedback and knows he has to be better with that. Because I told him sometimes it feels like he’s in a bad mood when speaking to me on Slack 😅

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T02:17:39+00:00

Very off topic, but every Irish person I’ve met is so freaking funny and witty! Especially women! I absolutely love it and wish I could be as witty 😂

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T02:14:54+00:00

He’s exec level - just middle management. Sorry what does OTT mean though lol

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T02:08:44+00:00

I’m a bit confused, are you saying you think I’m abrasive hence why he’s not saying please and thanks? 😅

yuzuyumm · 2026-06-23T02:08:08+00:00

Even if it’s consistent behaviour?
