I figure if it's actually important, they'd personally meet me or call. You don't respond over email hoping an instant response. It's obvious from the start of the email.
- ghaff 6y agoMaybe they have your email but not your mobile number? Or they want a written record of when and how they contacted you?
- MeinBlutIstBlau 6y agoDepending on what rung you're on in the corporate ladder, if the head of the institution "needed me" immediately, I'm extraordinarily skeptical they do not have a means of contacting me directly. Especially if they have assistants and other immediate VP's. Hell a corporate directory to look up my number... If a CEO is gonna want me fired because I'm being skeptical of the veracity of an email, I wouldn't want to work at such a place.
- ghaff 6y agoI guess it depends on the nature of the request. I got an email from our CEO a few weeks ago asking for my number to talk about something and I work for a 10K+ person company. (I also know him pretty well and I was pretty sure what this was in reference to.) A lot of execs don't have a problem with reaching out to people directly. Now, if he sent me an email asking me to go to some sketchy website or complete some financial transaction for him that would be something else.
