Dont assume technology works with critical issues - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / Don’t assume technology works with critical issues - Introvert Whisperer Don’t assume technology works with critical issues I had a situation occur today that I’m reflecting on for this email. Apparently, this person had sent me numerous emails (I was told 15) and I had failed to reply.   Finally, I was texted and emailed (which I received unlike previous emails sent) a hostile note, which completely stunned me because I had never received anything â€" email or text â€" until today.   So here I am, receiving a nasty email/text for what seemed like out of the blue as I had never seen or heard anything prior from this person.   I’m guessing the hostility came from what looked like to this person, being completely ignored. I think there is a good learning point to this.   If you have a critical business to conduct: Call directly to the person you need to communicate with. These days with common courtesy not being very common, it’s hard to tell if you’re being ignored or if technology has failed.   I know that ignoring emails, texts and voicemails are now the new “norm” but I urge you to rise above doing that.   It’s not courteous and it’s rude.   Responding doesn’t take that long. Also, I’ve had enough emails not get through to people that I know there is a failure rate that’s not insignificant.   If people aren’t responding to you in either mode, don’t assume you’re being ignored â€" call and speak to the person.   Again, I realize that those things get ignored but once you do connect you can easily communicate whatever is your agenda. Hostility won’t make you feel better and like my story â€" is completely uncalled for.   This behavior didn’t win points with me.   If a call had been made 15 emails ago, it would have saved frustrations and insult for the other person and maybe a keeping me as a business associate. Moral of the story:   If it’s important â€" don’t email or text make a call.
