So not sure where to post this but I have been a part of this group for awhile, so hopefully I can here. I’m not thrilled with work right now. :/ I am not always good at office etiquette so need input please.
So a co-worker of mine wanted to speak with me in person. She wrote this in an email to me. She copied two other people on it—one was our manager and the other was our supervisor. She basically said since I was not able to see you in person, I am emailing you this email. The strange thing was we were around each other that day for a few hours (same day she wrote the email). She did not broach the topic she wrote about. She wrote that I had taken too long to do something and was hoping to work something out so that it wouldn’t interfere with her work.
It was a pretty decent, polite email. However, at our work we are encouraged to contact people directly and work together then if it doesn’t work out we are to go to our manager.
The email would’ve made more sense if she legitimately couldn’t get a hold of me then it’s understandable. However, since we were around each other I’m not quite sure why she never brought it up unless it didn’t broke her mind until after the fact I left which is about when she wrote the email.
I am not sure how this ties. work policy since she didn’t really try to work it out one on one. Unless she felt the situation was too serious because it was affecting her work that she felt it should just go straight to the boss without trying to work it out. I am open to feedback. I am wondering when it is appropriate to copy the boss and supervisor in this context. We usually see eachother once a week.
