COdeGenesis:Its true diplomacy is required in dealing with ur boss. The regional office cannot punish u if the fault is from the branch managers.. All u need to do, is to send a normal reminder, telling them that their delay is slowing the process. If the branch manager sees this as rude, to hell with him.. He has no power to sack U.. U will need this email thread as ur defense if are queried, which is more important.. Don't appear rude in ur email nevertheless, cause the Buck doesn't stop at ur table.. Cheers |

Why is everyone asking him to apologise? Ass lickers and timid people everywhere. Just be good at what you do and you will be fine. Once I'm right, even the MD won't be spared my straight up engagement. 2 Likes |

Your mail was rude, simple. He meant what he said if you report to higher authority they will support him. Choose your words carefully when reporting to seniors or your manager. Sms or text would have been appropriate as when you go into mail you make things so official and it can escalate. Learn when to use mail. It's well find a way of apologising. |

seems you sounded rude. you should have copied your boss in the email so you wont be said to be acting alone... ignore the threatening email.... soothe things out with him in person... dont cow...else you will be bullied in future... |

"The delay is becoming quite embarrassing to the state..." Choicy words! In other words, your boss is the one who is becoming an embarrassment to the state. What were you thinking? |

COdeGenesis: Next time, call to remind the person. You can even stay on d phone while the person replies your mail. You can as well go see the person in his/her office. Stay there till they send the mail, personally I don't like doing this. It's just a typical Nigerian behaviour at work to delay, I used to send a lot of mails too but if I wana be mean sometimes, one mail is enough I believe it's everyone's duty to read and respond to their mails. Don't resign bro, it's part of the job. |

Send him a polite email reminder cc your overall company manager(the dude who delegated the task to you) and stand your ground.... If he's as dumb as I suspect he will respond with a stinker forgetting that your overall boss is copied... Good luck |

You must be careful when relating between two super power (bosses) if not you will incur wrath and neither will be willing to save you. And your choice of word is also very keen. I have been told by my regional manager to tell my immediate boss stuff that I am not too comfortable with but I kept it to myself only for my RM to still come around to ask my BM if I delivered such and BM turned to me and I simply said I forgot to pass the message. Right there and then the RM passed his message after which my BM understood the reason I forgot. 2 Likes |

Raphael007: Very correct. Op you wrote the mail like a superior and not a junior staff you don't write mail saying your superiors are embarrassing. Don't be under pressure if anything happens you won't face any punishment cause the delay is from your boss of you carry work for head na hypertension you go get always learn how to be calm highest na query you go geg |

Mr man your story is half baked. Firstly, was your manager copied in the initial mail, if yes then there was no need to send him a reminder. Secondly, if you're in the same office building, then you could have easily walked to his office and raise it directly with him as a reminder rather than email. Lastly, he said 'don't send SUCH mails' and not you shouldn't send he mails as you indicated. Both have two separate interpretations. |

COdeGenesis: It seems your mail sounded offensive. You are lucky the branch manager isnt sure if you or your boss wrote the mail. Thats why he said you can tell you your boss what he said. Find a way other than an email to apologize. Note: dont dare tell your boss, he may be angry with you or cause a rift between the both bosses and you know tbe saying, "when 2 elephants fight, the grass suffers". Lastly, learn to chose your words carefully especially with regards to bosses. My former office had this rule, all outgoing mails are saved to draft, the Manager skims through and gives you go ahead to send, even if the mail bears your name or title. That way the manager is in the picture of what was sent and how to defend himself or the company. He also highlighted any word, sentence or paragraph he wants you to either edit or delete. Because he is an expatriate and English is not his 1st language, we proof read his own official mail he is sending on be behalf of the company or his title and also correct and highlight what we have changed but try as much as possible not to change the context of what he is transmitting. Emails are tricky and official language can easily fall either side of the line between respect and disrespect. 3 Likes |

You probably used words that sounded insurordinating. If you used words or exoressions like 'embarrassing, 'urgently', 'why the delay?', then u overstepped if u sent that to ur superiors. You can't defend it. Emails could misrepresent in so many ways. Anyways, it's a learning one for u. Always think twice and re read your emails (even if it is just 'thanks') before hitting the send button. Way forward, call him and apologize in a friendly manner to show your innocence. And after u guys turn it to a friendly conversation and apologies accepted kind of thing, tell him u would send another email to apologize and clarify your previous email. See his reaction. Good luck. |

aktolly54: This would've been an option but in an office, mails are very important for future references, he could call them and yet they forget to send the report then when it becomes a problem they could deny he called them and even say they expected a mail but ddnt get none. Mailing them and calling alongside with a nice approach to inform them of the mail is best tho. |

Blitz888: He's not spot on! Don't encourage verbal communication in a formal workplace; you need emails for reference purposes, most especially for those "superior" that will come and say "i was not told" and you don't have evidence to prove anything, just because it was a phone call! I have been there before, don't do it. Just try and be subtle and respectful, cautious in your mails and you will be fine. 4 Likes 1 Share |
