So my manager has the habit of choosing who he wants to respond to. If I’m not on leave, I’ll just pick the email up and deal with it – it’s whatever to me at this point IF I’m around. If he begrudgingly responds to someone he doesn’t like, he will show it in his email. Like legit a single word email, e.g. “attached”.
I was on leave last Thurs-Fri and today (Mon – I’m in Asia). My manager doesn’t like it when I attend to emails while being on leave, which I appreciate though I do check emails from time to time as some only addresses the email to me and requires assistance from my other colleague.
But he as usual picked who to reply to. There was an email on Friday morning which is time-sensitive and required a referral to our HQ in the US – he ignored because usually I’m the one handling such matters. Time-sensitive because it involves certificate issuance.
I am really exasperated. I know that he will not change his habits and he has the power to pick and choose as a manager. I’m just wondering if you guys have any tips to handle such instances…?
