We're having a major go-live this month. Management wanted someone to visit on the third (when we observe the holiday). I volunteered because: I'm close, my kids are all grown, and I'm technically part of the management team.
While I was there, there was an issue. I dutifully reached out to one of the people managing some processes to see if her processes could be causing the issue. She didn't reply.
I told one of the managers on site that day that I was proud of her for ignoring me, that she was doing exactly what I told her she should do, and I'd be upset if she had responded.
It turns out she never got the message until today. I told her if she had actually replied I would have yelled at her for reading work messages on the holiday.
It's a weird kind of psychosis. I had to ask her, but I was happier not getting the response than I would have been if she had replied.
Is this a linkedin shaped joke? If not, why the hell reach out if you're so adamant against her actually replying? If a collegue of mine has time off, no chance in hell I'll actually call or write them.
Primarily because if I didn't reach out, my manager would have. Except he wouldn't have stopped with a teams chat message. He would have started calling her cell phone, personal phone, etc.
When I said I'd reach out to her, I circumvented that. It gave us time for him to move onto the next thing.
He's getting better, but when he panics he falls back into bad behavior.
