Just tell me what you want goddammit. I have ZERO interest in small talk with random work strangers. It’s such a waste of time to type back and forth and have a pointless conversation about the weather when you could have just told me what you needed from me from the get go. This infuriates me, which makes me question why I even went into HR is it rude to just leave these on read and not reply to them at all? Surely they’ll follow up with a message indicating what they want if it’s that important? I’m getting severely burnt out, and 15+ of these message daily certainly doesn’t help.
