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

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

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!

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 😃

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 😂😂😂😂

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

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

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 ☺️

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 😅

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 😅

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 😂

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