That reminds me of my old boss expecting email to be the same as an answered phone call. There was a problem in our system that he wanted me and a co-worker to solve by working late and he sent us a both an email. The was close to the end of the day. I didn't read the email until the next morning. He yelled at me for not putting in the extra effort and leaving it to my co-worker. The really funny part was that his office was only 20 steps away from my desk and he could have dialed a four digit number to reach my desk phone. And this was back in 1994.
- chmike 16y agoThere is a HR joke about mail. He send a mail request not relevant and the first one to answer is fired because it means this guy is not realy busy.
- loewenskind 16y agoEvery part of your description makes it sound like an awful place to work. I don't get why people who happen to have the job of "manager" assume they have the right to yell at people. It's not remotely professional and certainly doesn't have the intended effect.
