Re: my previous email

Dear ____,

Thank you for your email reply. Unfortunately, your prissy tone did not inspire me. When responding to an email going forward, please do not “cc” me when your passive aggressive tone was clearly for me alone. Even high schoolers know to face the person directly they’d like to diminish, and they don’t write emails, they write graffiti on the walls of the restroom. Perhaps this is something you can try, instead.

Next time, a more direct approach would be appreciated. Perhaps, even an in-person conversation? I realize, because of the recent pandemic, you might be out of practice. But you can’t hide behind email lingo in person. Instead, you have to directly pass on assignments to me that were explicitly assigned to you alone. And how awkward is that?

Thank you for your time and consideration on this important matter.

Most sincerely,

Disgruntled
