I still wouldn't use quite a few of these: - > As per my prediction, this outcome does not come as a surprise. Just don't say this -- maybe an "I can't say I'm surprised" if it's an informal setting within peers. - > As Indicated prior Also just skip this, maybe a "Yeah, [copy/paste the relevant line from the initial email]" - > You have not heard from me because further information is not available at this time, Once I have an update I’ll be sure to loop you in. "Unfortunately, I don't have any more updates, but once I do I’ll be sure to loop you in." - > It is my understanding that you are the appropriate person to contact in regards to this. But If there’s is someone better equipped for this let me know. I have to do things like this a lot - my go-to is "According to XYZ you're the best person to talk to about this, but if there's someone else I should reach out to please let me know" - > I have included my initial email below which contains all of the details you are looking for. Just copy/paste the relevant portions from the initial email. - > I am confident in my ability to complete this project and will be sure to reach out, If or when I require your input. "Got it - I'll reach out if I have any more questions and I'll keep you in the loop." - > Thank you for your input. I’ll keep that in mind as I move forward with decisions that fall within my responsibilities "Thanks for your feedback, I'll keep it in mind. [Add a question about what they wrote so you seem actually invested in their ideas]" - > There seems to be a disconnect here as this information has already been provided Just copy/paste the relevant portions from the initial email. - > Being respectful of everyone's time let's discuss this through email until we have a more defined agenda This one is more benign but I think it implies the other person isn't being respectful of everyone's time. "I think it'd be beneficial to keep this to email until we have a more defined agenda" - > It is great to see my ideas being exposed to a wider audience and I would have appreciated the opportunity to have been included in the delivery. I've never had to deal with a problem like this, but I don't think this solves much. I don't have an alternative for it but this seems like an issue that wouldn't benefit from minor passive-aggression. - > The internet is a great resource for these types of questions and I am available to clarify elements that you are not able to find online. "I'd be happy to hop on a Zoom call to help you out." -- Don't be the LMGTFY guy. - > This falls out of my job description but if the opportunity for a role expansion becomes available I would be happy to discuss reworking my contract to better align with these new responsibilities These seem to be getting more passive aggressive as I scroll, heh. "I don't have the bandwidth or ability to do something like that, but XYZ may be of better service in this department" - > Please let me know when further details become available as I require more information to successfully complete this task Specify what things you need to complete the task. - > If you need to contact me, please note that my working hours being at 8 am and 6 pm. Communications received prior to this won't be seen. Just don't reply. Mute your phone? - > I did previously note that this was a likely outcome. How do you plan to resolve this? "What's the plan to resolve this?" - > I am not able to offer you additional support in completing your workload "Unfortunately I don't have the bandwidth to help out on that. I'd reach out to [my manager] to see if we can adjust our goals to support you with it"
