me when i agreed to take on this volunteer role: i will gently remind people that i only check my emails once a day and never on weekends!
me today: *new, passive-aggressive email signature*
#working with boomers and gen x is a total nightmare#they're all addicted to tech and none of them have reasonable boundaries#so they treat emails like text messages#JOKE'S ON YOU - i don't respond to text messages immediately either!!#also none of them have reading comprehension so they won't actually address most of the things#i spend time putting into my emails#whether it is asking me a question that is LITERALLY answered in my previous email#or hitting 'reply all' when i say 'please reply just to me'#or - this one is currently driving me up a wall - making comments on a collaborative document VIA EMAIL#instead of using the comment function in the cloud document like i EXPLICITLY ASKED THEM TO#also treating 12 hours like a reasonable email turnaround time??#girls if you need my input you need to give me 2-3 business days#i have limited emailing time and you are not the only person i need to use it on#and please do not CALL ME 12 hours after sending an email to circumvent my boundaries#and get a reply that way#also i am literally doing all the work for the committees within my ambit in this role#if you want things done faster consider doing them yourself instead of saying 'oh we'll get jessica to do it'#GPOY#i actually had a panic attack about this last night#after spending FIVE HOURS working through my inbox#by the time this posts i may have nailed my demands for respect to the church door
