Let me preface by saying that once again, we are all sitting RIGHT HERE within ear shot... even when using our "inside voices".
Email:
Who dropped all of the popcorn onto the carpet adjacent to the plotter?
My reply-all:
I don’t know – but I say we light the torches and run them out of town!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who’s with me?
My reply to him:
Do you realize how awkward it might be (ok -IS) to send an email to people, who are all literally sitting within speaking range, asking them to admit to some dumb ‘wrong-doing’?
I’m not sure what your intended outcome is, but could there be a better way to achieve it?
I don’t want to have this conversation out loud in front of everyone b/c I don't want to undermind your position with respect to management - but it’s very hard for me to accept this type of tactic and pretend to stand behind it. These aren’t little kids.
