Why YSK: These email tips are helpful for people who struggle with boundaries and want to communicate more assertively.
You must log in or register to comment.
My personal ones for corporate use:
-
Never use I when you can use we.
-
Even if you’re the only one working on a project, never refer to it as yours. Always refer to it as ours.
-
Don’t apologize, present solutions.
-
Don’t say “read my fucking email again you goddamn illiterate moron”, say “As previously noted in our communications…”
The last one is particularly important if you like to eat.
Our company “russian anthem starts playing”
I will also attach old emails rather than repeat myself.
“Per my last email…”
good ‘ol corporate clap back

To be honest, I find most of these passive aggressive and patronizing.
I agree, but, you’d be surprised how many people find many of these seemingly innocuous distinctions offensive (if only a little bit). For example, I was once chided by HR for saying ‘no problem’ during a seemingly friendly discussion.
I mean apparently some people think a thumbs up in a chat is passive aggressive.

I attach a goatse to my email communicationsz tonrrally drive home the point of urgency in the face of devastating consequences.
