CodeGenesis...u know too much code to d extent u think say code started wit u, wehdone sa. On a more serious note though, apologize to him and learn to be more courteous in your mails. I was once like you, even gave a sharp response to someone's mail until peeps came to me and said 'do u know who .... is?' Not everything is white and black, the same message could be passed in different forms and modes thereby generating favorable responses or unfavourable reactions. Be guided bro, you go climb ladder too. |

It sounds rude. You didn't have to tell your seniors that their delay is embarrassing to the state. You didn't demonstrate email ethics nor show respect. As someone suggested, either send a rejoinder to all the former recipients apologizing for your tone or send an individual email followed by a call. This kind small thing dey spoil person career o. 1 Like 1 Share |

Today, We needed information from the branch managers,3 of them to be precise. I was tasked with ensuring they send the information on time Since you know why the information was urgently needed and prolly have the idea of what the information shud have included, noticing your managers werent responding and it was going to have consequences, all you had to do was draft the mail, send to your managers for final scrutiny and approval, then they can forward the mail as theirs. All it wud have caused you was the same time and energy you used in sending the rude mail to your superiors. You wud have felt better and more appreciated knowiing you saved the branch some embarrassment. It doesnt require much to be more, shows good initiative and responsibility. Thats how promotion comes dear. Best of luck. |

COdeGenesis: Bro send him a mail. He can't do shit. He knows he can't put those words to you in writing that's why he called. Continue sending the reminders, the fool will respond. If he doesn't, then your reminders will serve as your defense |

You should have just forwarded the mail and said "gentle reminder as per mail below". Anyways, depending on his person, just apologize. |

Next time a senior manager sends an instruction to a junior manager through you; kindly forward same mail to the junior manager and use this line "Dear sir, i just received below mail from manager xxxx....please advise." and if he keeps quiet, call him on the phone and use the line"Sir, i just called to confirm if you received my mail" That way you smartly stay out of trouble... As for you mail...that was fvcking rude...i imagine what you would do as a senior manager if you can be this rude in your mail to a superior and have mouth to say that "you are straight" Learn some respect bro, cos if those bosses have bad belle for you trust me...you will willingly resign in less than 6 months from that office even if the chairman is your uncle. 2 Likes |

COdeGenesis: @OP.. First things first. Look for a senior who is close to your boss and fuckin swallow your pride and beg like your Job depends on it. because it does. Next time take some cues on emotional intelligence.. learn to grow outside being a technical drone.. there is more to business than being a tool 1: You are the problem - Read The Art of War Office Politics can slay you or bail you. A simple "Gentle Reminder" is enough, you are not paid enough to make that decision or carry that responsibility. You pass your boundary. Don't be a nerd "REALPOLITIK" 2: Stop limiting yourself.. Data Analysts are a dime and a dozen these days - what gets you above the cut is your Managerial Skills not your ability to slice and dice data. You will one day aspire to become a Business Intelligence Manager (Data->Information->Knowledge-->Insight). Expand your confidence so you do not remain an analyst |

First of all you were only a messenger and you had to pass a message. The problem I think may have been the way you composed the mail. Next time forward the message as sent from your regional manager then start with " as requested in the mail below....". Then subsequent reminders should include previous mail in the trail. Don't forget to use words like "kindly", "gentle reminder", "thanks in anticipation", etc I mean try to be a polite as possible even if you are sending it to subordinate. Don't think of resigning it's part of growing up in the corporate world. Hope this helps. Cheers 1 Like |

BiafranBushBoy: Yes . Any body can confront his line manager if it is a useless job. A job that your line manager can inform the MD is definitely a one man business. Try that nonsense in a big corporate organization. He will write that they move u to another department and u might float until u get sacked.. When u get your dream job, confront and get queries. 1 Like 1 Share |

AntiWailer:he is not his direct manager. HR these days even show you how each employee appraises you and advice on how you can better relate with the ones that gave a not too good appraisal. In the end, it will be a resolved case! |

majekdom2: See u need to learn a lot. That is why a lot of careers are stagnant. That he is not your direct line manager does not make him less influential in determining your destiny in the organization. You will not be there when u are to be roasted. Your line manager and managers in his cadre will be there. When the organization want to downsize, The decision will not be left to his manager alone cos of emotional attachment and sentiment. When u work in a big organization where moderation is done, u will understand this better. I am not talking about 1 man company with MD next door. 2 Likes 1 Share |

COdeGenesis: Learn how to be diplomatic. Use office terminology which means something but sounds another thing. Since the regional head is tasking you for reports from 3 of your superiors, the burden is not on YOU, but on the 3 BRANCH MANAGERS. It is not your father's job and it is not EMBARRASING like you stated. You sounded frustrated with your choice of words, so they will help you frustrate yourself. Next time, FORWARD the originating mail from the Regional Manager to the 3 branch managers and COPY the Regional Manager. Stating, " Sirs, the above mail is for your advice or For your input or For your information " Then go and sleep.. If the regional manager sends a reminder, forward the reminder to the 3 managers and copy the regional head again.. thats ur work. If you put yourself on the line, they will use you and shine. Just ensure the regional head knows you are forwarding his mails to them by copying him. Thats all. If he didn't send a mail, demand a mail. 3 Likes |
