That was my favourite tool, in the these too-frequent cases, until our manager declared that no-one could send internal emails, and had to go and speak to, or call each person instead. Which never works so well if you have to tell 5 people the same thing, esp. if some of them are in meetings or on project sites.
This happened to me: I asked for resources for a very large project, including one 24 hrs support line. My boss said all that was not needed. Months after, the customer complained and asked us to take measures in order to put the project back on track. My boss and his sales director, locked me in a meeting room in order to tell me that for those large projects, resources and planning where needed. I opened my laptop and showed the mail I sent 6 months before asking for precisely for that. He literally said the same words as in the last panel (but in Spanish 😅).
Yeah, those cases seem to mysteriously pre-empt ad-hoc performance or disciplinary review, to capriciously pick the bones of every uncrossed T and undotted I, since you began the job.
And even though you warned me about it, I've decided that it's your fault, so I'll remember like that for ever and ever...
the advent of email and track-ability has been the bane of managers everywhere. 😄 read receipt was my absolute favourite tool 😁😎
