WEBVTT - Emails That Trigger You!

0:00:00.230 --> 0:00:03.230
<v Speaker 1>I, we were just talking about this off the air unrelated,

0:00:03.670 --> 0:00:05.290
<v Speaker 1>but I'm trying to come back with the comeback of

0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:09.940
<v Speaker 1>all comebacks. Cause I want, what I want to say

0:00:10.380 --> 0:00:15.260
<v Speaker 1>is the fiercest go and hop on a, you know what,

0:00:16.579 --> 0:00:17.540
<v Speaker 1>where it doesn't go.

0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:19.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, like that's what I'd like to say.

0:00:19.260 --> 0:00:21.570
<v Speaker 1>What I'd like to say is in the fiercest way,

0:00:21.930 --> 0:00:25.430
<v Speaker 1>like you can go and do, you know, various things

0:00:25.450 --> 0:00:27.290
<v Speaker 1>that I can't say on the radio that are unpleasant

0:00:27.310 --> 0:00:30.530
<v Speaker 1>and Yes, yes, yes. But I'm not going to do that.

0:00:30.590 --> 0:00:32.670
<v Speaker 1>But it's taking everything I have. So I'm trying to

0:00:32.690 --> 0:00:35.320
<v Speaker 1>come up with the most pointed way to say to

0:00:35.340 --> 0:00:38.540
<v Speaker 1>this person that without saying that. But instead, I think

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to say nothing. Because oftentimes, what is that phrase?

0:00:41.620 --> 0:00:44.340
<v Speaker 1>My non-response is a response? Yes.

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 3>No response is a response.

0:00:45.460 --> 0:00:47.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's it. I don't believe that, but yes. I

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:49.990
<v Speaker 2>love a response. I have a response. You and I

0:00:50.090 --> 0:00:52.590
<v Speaker 2>should believe that more often. I know. I think you

0:00:52.670 --> 0:00:56.470
<v Speaker 2>and I, of all people in this room, should believe that. Yeah. Because.

0:00:57.330 --> 0:00:59.950
<v Speaker 1>Because in this particular example, I shared with my closest

0:01:00.030 --> 0:01:04.930
<v Speaker 1>friend this scenario, and it didn't take maybe 30 seconds

0:01:05.010 --> 0:01:07.830
<v Speaker 1>of it to land for my phone to ring. And

0:01:07.870 --> 0:01:10.130
<v Speaker 1>for him, and he doesn't yell, but for him to

0:01:10.190 --> 0:01:14.759
<v Speaker 1>yell at me, you must not do a thing.

0:01:14.780 --> 0:01:18.339
<v Speaker 2>Do not say a thing. There will be no words.

0:01:18.860 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 2>I love those friends. I need a friend just tell

0:01:20.819 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 2>me what to do. He's like, I know what you're

0:01:22.740 --> 0:01:25.580
<v Speaker 2>doing right now. Put it down. When it comes to

0:01:25.620 --> 0:01:28.449
<v Speaker 2>those friends, they'll never do that. That's when you know

0:01:28.470 --> 0:01:31.830
<v Speaker 2>it's serious. He was like big brother. It was like,

0:01:32.690 --> 0:01:36.410
<v Speaker 2>you shall not. Yeah, I got screamed at once. You

0:01:36.430 --> 0:01:38.250
<v Speaker 2>shall not! He writes the paragraph.

0:01:38.730 --> 0:01:41.020
<v Speaker 1>But then I saw this this morning, and I guess

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:42.580
<v Speaker 1>it's along the same lines, but 855-591-1035 is how you

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:48.720
<v Speaker 1>call and text the Fred show, the same number. You

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:52.350
<v Speaker 1>know how I feel about workplace jargon. I have a

0:01:52.390 --> 0:01:56.270
<v Speaker 1>real issue with workplace jargon. And I've noticed in the last,

0:01:56.310 --> 0:01:59.710
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, couple of years, workplace jargon has become

0:01:59.970 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>just shortening words. Like a preso. Like a presentation's a preso.

0:02:06.340 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to think of some of the other ones

0:02:07.500 --> 0:02:07.940
<v Speaker 1>that I view.

0:02:08.060 --> 0:02:08.579
<v Speaker 2>It's like, wait, what?

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:11.530
<v Speaker 1>And all these guys, it's like a language they speak,

0:02:11.570 --> 0:02:13.650
<v Speaker 1>and they all know it. And I'm like, what's the presentation?

0:02:14.090 --> 0:02:15.109
<v Speaker 1>That's not a hard word to say.

0:02:15.190 --> 0:02:15.609
<v Speaker 4>No.

0:02:15.669 --> 0:02:16.170
<v Speaker 2>The preso.

0:02:16.210 --> 0:02:19.250
<v Speaker 1>The preso on the deck. The deck and the preso

0:02:19.290 --> 0:02:19.690
<v Speaker 1>and the whatever.

0:02:20.590 --> 0:02:20.950
<v Speaker 2>You know, the.

0:02:20.930 --> 0:02:26.380
<v Speaker 1>Low-hanging fruit and the, you know, I'll circle back on that.

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.220
<v Speaker 2>And what are some of the other ones that drive

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:28.640
<v Speaker 2>me crazy?

0:02:28.660 --> 0:02:29.019
<v Speaker 5>You see them.

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.639
<v Speaker 2>We're going to table that. Let's table that. We'll table that.

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:32.919
<v Speaker 3>Put it in the think tank.

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Jason kind of.

0:02:36.060 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Straddles the line between executive and a dunce like the

0:02:39.810 --> 0:02:43.850
<v Speaker 1>rest of us. Just dumb talent like the rest of us.

0:02:44.110 --> 0:02:47.210
<v Speaker 1>You're in some of these highfalutin meetings where they say

0:02:47.250 --> 0:02:49.770
<v Speaker 1>things like that. Do you sometimes say them too just

0:02:49.790 --> 0:02:50.170
<v Speaker 1>to fit in?

0:02:50.630 --> 0:02:51.050
<v Speaker 2>I do.

0:02:52.310 --> 0:02:55.850
<v Speaker 3>I'm getting infiltrated to where I'll want to say it

0:02:56.270 --> 0:02:56.889
<v Speaker 3>in real life.

0:02:56.910 --> 0:02:58.950
<v Speaker 2>What's your favorite? What's my favorite one?

0:02:59.570 --> 0:03:03.620
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I still use, like, in the emails,

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:05.920
<v Speaker 3>I'll be like, okay, circling back on this, like, if

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.579
<v Speaker 3>no one's responding, even though, like, I know that that's

0:03:08.620 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 3>really cringey.

0:03:09.380 --> 0:03:09.940
<v Speaker 2>It is cringey.

0:03:09.970 --> 0:03:12.030
<v Speaker 1>Well, because Jason right now is wearing, is it like

0:03:12.050 --> 0:03:12.950
<v Speaker 1>a Taylor Swift sweatshirt?

0:03:13.010 --> 0:03:16.070
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And I couldn't even. see it. I just knew

0:03:16.150 --> 0:03:18.780
<v Speaker 2>it was. He felt the vibe.

0:03:18.810 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 1>But when the show is over, he puts on, it

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 1>used to be jeans tucked in, button-down shirt, a blazer,

0:03:25.820 --> 0:03:29.540
<v Speaker 1>and then some form of like, what these guys thought

0:03:29.580 --> 0:03:33.800
<v Speaker 1>was the comfy dress shoes. Now, I've noticed that we've

0:03:33.860 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 1>dropped the blazer and it's a sweater with a button-down

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:42.170
<v Speaker 1>underneath or just the button-down untucked. And we've moved on

0:03:42.210 --> 0:03:46.330
<v Speaker 1>to like highbrow sneakers.

0:03:46.490 --> 0:03:49.610
<v Speaker 2>Or I saw some Chelsea boots. Occasionally a Chelsea boot.

0:03:49.630 --> 0:03:51.710
<v Speaker 1>That's what the executives are wearing now.

0:03:51.770 --> 0:03:54.450
<v Speaker 4>And all you've got to do is.

0:03:54.470 --> 0:03:57.780
<v Speaker 1>Bob and Rich, the duo at the top of this company,

0:03:57.790 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 1>they set the fashion trend. And there's only one guy

0:04:01.740 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 1>that bucks it, and his name is Bernie. And he

0:04:04.620 --> 0:04:07.119
<v Speaker 1>doesn't care, because he's Austrian and he's European and he's

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:07.860
<v Speaker 1>cooler than you.

0:04:07.900 --> 0:04:09.500
<v Speaker 2>He's so fly. He is.

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:13.020
<v Speaker 1>So he'll come So he's a high-level guy, but he

0:04:13.060 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 1>comes in here with a leather jacket on, and he's

0:04:16.140 --> 0:04:19.500
<v Speaker 1>got zippers on his jeans in places, maybe even.

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:23.549
<v Speaker 2>Some strategic holes. And the guy, he's European. He's cool.

0:04:24.070 --> 0:04:26.510
<v Speaker 1>So no one says a word to him about that.

0:04:26.650 --> 0:04:30.090
<v Speaker 1>But everyone else follows the thing. Anyway, but Chase, I've

0:04:30.130 --> 0:04:32.450
<v Speaker 1>seen you. I've seen you go into and come out

0:04:32.490 --> 0:04:34.790
<v Speaker 1>as Superman, and you're wearing the executive uniform.

0:04:36.070 --> 0:04:36.190
<v Speaker 4>Yes.

0:04:36.890 --> 0:04:38.849
<v Speaker 1>But this list came out and I'm not even sure

0:04:38.910 --> 0:04:41.300
<v Speaker 1>where we got this, but this is a list of

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 1>the most annoying workplace email phrases that are perceived as

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:50.279
<v Speaker 1>passive aggressive. So that's my question. You can call and text,

0:04:50.300 --> 0:04:53.500
<v Speaker 1>but when you see it in an email. Does it

0:04:53.660 --> 0:04:56.880
<v Speaker 1>send a shiver up your spine when you see this?

0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.650
<v Speaker 1>Number one, according to this list, just to be clear.

0:05:02.330 --> 0:05:04.670
<v Speaker 1>So what you're saying, half of people say that it's

0:05:04.750 --> 0:05:07.550
<v Speaker 1>usually passive aggressive. I mean, essentially what you're saying is

0:05:07.589 --> 0:05:10.650
<v Speaker 1>you're not capable of getting it.

0:05:10.670 --> 0:05:11.090
<v Speaker 2>You're dumb.

0:05:12.210 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 1>You're not getting it. And so I'm just going to

0:05:14.620 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 1>lay it out for you. Some people need that, by

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.740
<v Speaker 1>the way. Just to be clear doesn't bother me because

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.040
<v Speaker 1>sometimes you're not getting it. Yeah, I say, I hope

0:05:22.060 --> 0:05:23.480
<v Speaker 1>this isn't on the list, but sometimes I'll be like,

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.500
<v Speaker 1>does that make sense? But that doesn't mean that like,

0:05:25.790 --> 0:05:30.550
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking you're dumb, but it's like, I'm brain dumping

0:05:30.650 --> 0:05:33.089
<v Speaker 1>it that it makes sense to me and I ramble.

0:05:33.130 --> 0:05:35.630
<v Speaker 1>So like, does it make sense? But sometimes I think like,

0:05:35.950 --> 0:05:37.990
<v Speaker 1>This is the person receiving it. Like, okay, do you

0:05:38.010 --> 0:05:38.650
<v Speaker 1>get it? Dummy?

0:05:38.690 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Like, that's not what I'm saying. No, I've done that before.

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Two words. I'm not sure if I'm articulating my point properly.

0:05:45.180 --> 0:05:48.420
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So I'll say that following up, someone texted following up.

0:05:48.500 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm following up. What I'm saying when I say following

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:52.040
<v Speaker 1>up is you didn't respond.

0:05:53.140 --> 0:05:54.020
<v Speaker 2>So here I am again.

0:05:54.100 --> 0:05:56.260
<v Speaker 3>So I just copy the first of the original email

0:05:56.310 --> 0:06:00.950
<v Speaker 3>again in the new email.

0:06:01.110 --> 0:06:04.170
<v Speaker 1>Number two on this list of workplace email phrases that

0:06:04.230 --> 0:06:06.870
<v Speaker 1>are commonly perceived as passive aggressive, probably because they are

0:06:07.810 --> 0:06:09.210
<v Speaker 1>as previously discussed.

0:06:09.830 --> 0:06:10.729
<v Speaker 5>Oh, yeah.

0:06:10.810 --> 0:06:13.330
<v Speaker 2>OK. I mean, I don't hate it. I mean, I

0:06:13.370 --> 0:06:16.190
<v Speaker 2>guess that's a way of saying like. Like I said.

0:06:16.210 --> 0:06:16.310
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:06:16.790 --> 0:06:17.170
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:06:17.670 --> 0:06:19.950
<v Speaker 1>Or like we already agreed to this kind of thing.

0:06:19.990 --> 0:06:21.109
<v Speaker 1>Like we're not rehashing.

0:06:21.130 --> 0:06:21.620
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean?

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.700
<v Speaker 1>Like I, that's, I don't think I would say it

0:06:23.740 --> 0:06:26.260
<v Speaker 1>that way, but it might be like, Hey, we just,

0:06:26.300 --> 0:06:28.580
<v Speaker 1>I'm just going back to this thing we already talked about.

0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:29.340
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean?

0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.820
<v Speaker 1>Like if you're referencing something, that one doesn't bother me

0:06:31.860 --> 0:06:34.900
<v Speaker 1>as much because it's like, we already talked about aspects

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:38.349
<v Speaker 1>of it. So I'm only covering, you know, that's sufficient.

0:06:38.390 --> 0:06:38.770
<v Speaker 2>I don't mind.

0:06:38.890 --> 0:06:39.260

<v Speaker 1>this is how we do for future, for future reference.

0:07:36.390 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Like that, that's a nice way of scolding someone. Like

0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 1>we don't do it that way. Like for future reference,

0:07:42.180 --> 0:07:45.120
<v Speaker 1>do not reply to all about the email about how

0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:48.170
<v Speaker 1>many candy corn are in the jar.

0:07:48.250 --> 0:07:51.820
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry. I was excited. I almost did.

0:07:51.980 --> 0:07:54.060
<v Speaker 1>I noticed they made it like this is the kind

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:55.620
<v Speaker 1>of stuff that we do in the office during the day,

0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:56.850
<v Speaker 1>I guess. I'm not here.

0:07:57.370 --> 0:07:58.990
<v Speaker 2>I get here at four and I leave. I don't

0:07:59.010 --> 0:07:59.190
<v Speaker 2>do it.

0:07:59.510 --> 0:08:02.150
<v Speaker 1>But we have a big jar of candy corn and

0:08:02.190 --> 0:08:04.370
<v Speaker 1>it's guess how many candy corn are in there and

0:08:04.390 --> 0:08:06.950
<v Speaker 1>you win like a pizza or something. I don't know.

0:08:07.300 --> 0:08:09.860
<v Speaker 1>But like I saw they did it like crooked. in

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.020
<v Speaker 1>the candy cart thing so that so that because there's

0:08:12.060 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 1>a way to do it mathematically we learned this in

0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.840
<v Speaker 1>high school where you count like you count the vault

0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.140
<v Speaker 1>you figure out the volume so you count up and

0:08:19.170 --> 0:08:21.350
<v Speaker 1>then you count around and then you can figure out

0:08:21.390 --> 0:08:24.290
<v Speaker 1>how many are in there roughly yeah we were we

0:08:24.310 --> 0:08:26.290
<v Speaker 1>were taught this just for just for this sort of

0:08:26.330 --> 0:08:28.530
<v Speaker 1>thing right just so that when when the office had

0:08:28.570 --> 0:08:30.739
<v Speaker 1>a contest that i saw they put things of other

0:08:30.810 --> 0:08:33.160
<v Speaker 1>size in there too they're trying to throw us.

0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Off they are Oh! I got told that was close.

0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:40.060
<v Speaker 3>So, fingers crossed I get that pizza. What did you guess?

0:08:40.059 --> 0:08:40.699
<v Speaker 5>1,271.

0:08:40.700 --> 0:08:43.359
<v Speaker 1>But for future reference, we don't reply to all on

0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:44.740
<v Speaker 1>the Candy Corn Guessing email.

0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:45.500
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Kindly note is on this list of things that annoy people.

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.839
<v Speaker 1>Any updates on this? I don't know about that. I

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:53.020
<v Speaker 1>don't know if that bothers me.

0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't bother me. Because it's like.

0:08:55.220 --> 0:08:58.059
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like, basically, you didn't respond to me on this.

0:08:58.420 --> 0:09:00.960
<v Speaker 1>And the other one is when people... What is the

0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:06.079
<v Speaker 1>phrase they use when they're essentially... They're replying to their

0:09:06.300 --> 0:09:08.679
<v Speaker 1>own email to push it up to the top of it.

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.679
<v Speaker 2>Bumping this to the top of your inbox.

0:09:11.780 --> 0:09:15.360
<v Speaker 1>That's their way of saying, you didn't give me enough attention,

0:09:15.740 --> 0:09:18.300
<v Speaker 1>and so I'm putting it, and there's probably a reason why,

0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>so I'm going to reply to my own email to

0:09:20.980 --> 0:09:22.300
<v Speaker 1>put it at the top of your list so that

0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:23.640
<v Speaker 1>you'll look at it again.

0:09:23.700 --> 0:09:24.220
<v Speaker 2>It's me again.

0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:28.380
<v Speaker 6>Don't worry about what is where.

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:32.469
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I never intended to respond to that. I'm reorganizing stuff.

0:09:32.710 --> 0:09:32.930
<v Speaker 5>Amy.

0:09:34.170 --> 0:09:38.190
<v Speaker 1>Yes how you doing so annoying workplace email jargon.

0:09:38.830 --> 0:09:43.660
<v Speaker 4>Um elevate just makes me cringe like how can we

0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:52.140
<v Speaker 4>my god like nothing's ever.

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.510
<v Speaker 1>Good enough okay i see so like basically it's their

0:09:54.530 --> 0:09:56.329
<v Speaker 1>way of saying this isn't right like this kind of

0:09:56.350 --> 0:09:57.670
<v Speaker 1>sucks how do we make it better.

0:09:57.650 --> 0:10:01.849
<v Speaker 2>Yes yes or q1 q2 Q3, Q4. Let's refer back

0:10:01.890 --> 0:10:03.890
<v Speaker 2>to Q2 and circle back. Yeah.

0:10:03.929 --> 0:10:07.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to. Q2 is a dark time. I

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:09.240
<v Speaker 1>don't want to.

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:11.150
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Amy. Have a good day.

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Thanks. You too.

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.500
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. This email topic is triggering many people. I'm sorry

0:10:15.540 --> 0:10:18.260
<v Speaker 2>about that. Hey, Robert. Hey, what's up, man?

0:10:18.340 --> 0:10:22.090
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Robert, you hate this particular email activity or thing.

0:10:22.110 --> 0:10:22.480
<v Speaker 2>What is it?

0:10:22.830 --> 0:10:25.550
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the activity is when people CC like a higher

0:10:25.670 --> 0:10:27.620
<v Speaker 5>up when I didn't even have a chance to respond

0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.260
<v Speaker 5>or have enough time to do the test that they

0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:31.180
<v Speaker 5>were asking me to do.

0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.750
<v Speaker 2>I don't like that at all.

0:10:34.309 --> 0:10:35.810
<v Speaker 1>I've done that a time or two when people are

0:10:35.910 --> 0:10:37.810
<v Speaker 1>acting right, and I'm like, I bet you won't act

0:10:37.850 --> 0:10:38.550
<v Speaker 1>like this now.

0:10:38.809 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 2>Boom! Like, you're acting a little dumb right now. Boom!

0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Let me put Bob in red.

0:10:46.500 --> 0:10:47.000
<v Speaker 5>Boom!

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:50.760
<v Speaker 2>I've never put Bob in red. Thank you, Robert. Have

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:51.220
<v Speaker 2>a good day.

0:10:52.260 --> 0:10:54.740
<v Speaker 1>No, people, they'll cop an attitude until their boss is

0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.660
<v Speaker 1>on the email, then all of a sudden it's like, uh, uh, uh.

0:10:58.370 --> 0:11:01.370
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Any updates on this? I'm not sure if you

0:11:01.450 --> 0:11:04.400
<v Speaker 2>saw this in an email. That's not bad. Yeah, except

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:05.079
<v Speaker 2>I did.

0:11:05.100 --> 0:11:06.380
<v Speaker 5>Did you?

0:11:06.740 --> 0:11:07.400
<v Speaker 2>I ignored you.

0:11:07.420 --> 0:11:11.250
<v Speaker 1>Going forward, again, I think that's another one where it's like,

0:11:11.309 --> 0:11:12.859
<v Speaker 1>what you did sucked, but we're going to do it

0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 1>differently doing this. Just checking in. Now that one I've

0:11:17.300 --> 0:11:19.679
<v Speaker 1>done because I, like I've written people before though. I

0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:22.500
<v Speaker 1>didn't really have anything to say. I was just sort

0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:24.680
<v Speaker 1>of like a client or someone who advertises with us.

0:11:24.740 --> 0:11:26.790
<v Speaker 1>I'll write and be like, Hey, everything good. Like I

0:11:26.830 --> 0:11:29.010
<v Speaker 1>don't have, there's no purpose to this email. I'm just

0:11:29.050 --> 0:11:31.210
<v Speaker 1>saying what's up. Like, Hey, here I am. Do you need,

0:11:31.250 --> 0:11:34.530
<v Speaker 1>do you need something? Um, that's, that's, I think if

0:11:34.550 --> 0:11:36.630
<v Speaker 1>you do that one time, yeah, that's okay.

0:11:36.650 --> 0:11:37.070
<v Speaker 2>So be it.

0:11:37.210 --> 0:11:38.929
<v Speaker 1>If you're being ignored and you do it, like I

0:11:38.950 --> 0:11:41.550
<v Speaker 1>didn't want you to check in and then friendly reminder.

0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:48.540
<v Speaker 1>Friendly reminder. No, that's not friendly. That's passive aggressive. Friendly reminder.

0:11:48.660 --> 0:11:51.580
<v Speaker 1>That's me saying to you, like... You didn't do it.

0:11:52.170 --> 0:11:54.850
<v Speaker 1>So I'm telling you, like, you know, it's not friendly.

0:11:54.950 --> 0:11:56.050
<v Speaker 2>I love a friendly reminder.

0:11:56.070 --> 0:11:58.090
<v Speaker 3>I'm friendly when I say that.

0:11:58.170 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Friendly reminder is you're not doing it.

0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 3>Well, to me, it's like, this isn't really that important,

0:12:02.900 --> 0:12:04.699
<v Speaker 3>but just so y'all know, this is happening.

0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:05.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:12:05.100 --> 0:12:06.219
<v Speaker 3>Like, that's how I mean it.

0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Like, heads up, friend.

0:12:08.300 --> 0:12:08.839
<v Speaker 6>Oh, boy.

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.199
<v Speaker 1>And this is at number three on another list, but boy,

0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:14.630
<v Speaker 1>is this number one for me. Action required.

0:12:14.790 --> 0:12:18.210
<v Speaker 2>With the exclamation point. Action required. I like that.

0:12:18.290 --> 0:12:22.070
<v Speaker 1>So of all the other emails in my thing, yours

0:12:22.190 --> 0:12:26.559
<v Speaker 1>requires my attention immediately. You got some real balls putting

0:12:26.580 --> 0:12:29.679
<v Speaker 1>that exclamation point on something if it's not really. That

0:12:29.700 --> 0:12:33.010
<v Speaker 1>better be the results to my blood panel. And the

0:12:33.170 --> 0:12:35.770
<v Speaker 1>action required, you know, better be important to my health.

0:12:36.030 --> 0:12:38.949
<v Speaker 1>Action required. So you're telling me the other 10 emails

0:12:39.010 --> 0:12:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at right now, whatever they need isn't as

0:12:42.220 --> 0:12:44.960
<v Speaker 1>important as what you just wrote in your subject line.

0:12:45.220 --> 0:12:46.199
<v Speaker 2>Action required.

0:12:46.340 --> 0:12:49.219
<v Speaker 6>See, I like an action required, though. Because it lets

0:12:49.260 --> 0:12:50.900
<v Speaker 6>me know, like, I actually have to do something with this.

0:12:50.940 --> 0:12:53.130
<v Speaker 6>Because a lot of times emails are just that. They're

0:12:53.170 --> 0:12:56.130
<v Speaker 6>just emails. Like people checking stuff off a box. But

0:12:56.210 --> 0:12:58.290
<v Speaker 6>when you put action required, I'm like, oh, okay, I

0:12:58.309 --> 0:12:59.670
<v Speaker 6>got to do something. Let me lock in.

0:13:01.130 --> 0:13:03.910
<v Speaker 1>It's a low percentage, but I mean, because there's a

0:13:03.929 --> 0:13:06.170
<v Speaker 1>lot of crap. But of the emails that I get

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:10.360
<v Speaker 1>that are not junk, most require a response. Like most

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.400
<v Speaker 1>people need an answer to something or need you to

0:13:12.460 --> 0:13:14.240
<v Speaker 1>do something. So then when the one pops up that's

0:13:14.500 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 1>action required, it's like you're not, you decided you're more

0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:19.660
<v Speaker 1>important than everybody else and you're not.

0:13:19.820 --> 0:13:21.680
<v Speaker 3>No, my inbox is like the deli. You can put

0:13:21.780 --> 0:13:24.650
<v Speaker 3>action required. You can put however many exclamation points required.

0:13:24.830 --> 0:13:27.270
<v Speaker 3>You are getting answered in the order that your email

0:13:27.309 --> 0:13:27.650
<v Speaker 3>was received.

0:13:27.670 --> 0:13:31.089
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, take a ticket, bro. Take a ticket. Hey, Avon,

0:13:31.110 --> 0:13:31.670
<v Speaker 2>how you doing?

0:13:32.630 --> 0:13:33.790
<v Speaker 5>I'm good. I'm good.

0:13:33.809 --> 0:13:34.550
<v Speaker 2>How are you?

0:13:34.650 --> 0:13:36.750
<v Speaker 1>Avon, you are calling up here. I'm well, and thanks

0:13:36.770 --> 0:13:38.849
<v Speaker 1>for asking. You're calling up here to admit that you're

0:13:38.970 --> 0:13:39.750
<v Speaker 1>guilty of all this.

0:13:40.850 --> 0:13:43.610
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, well, I mean, so for my work, I have

0:13:43.630 --> 0:13:47.470
<v Speaker 5>to reach out and service machines and schedule these things

0:13:48.100 --> 0:13:50.580
<v Speaker 5>a couple months in advance. So I give these people

0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.740
<v Speaker 5>a chance to reply to me. If it's within a week,

0:13:54.179 --> 0:13:57.380
<v Speaker 5>I'm blasting you. Like, I know you've seen my e-mails.

0:13:57.420 --> 0:14:00.059
<v Speaker 5>I've been sitting for a week. Two weeks, you're really

0:14:00.100 --> 0:14:03.330
<v Speaker 5>going to be like, okay, urgency. And, like, in a month,

0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.670
<v Speaker 5>if you don't reply to me as a final notice,

0:14:05.770 --> 0:14:07.770
<v Speaker 5>if you don't say anything to me, I'm not coming

0:14:07.790 --> 0:14:08.270
<v Speaker 5>to visit you.

0:14:08.290 --> 0:14:09.110
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:14:09.350 --> 0:14:09.650
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:14:09.670 --> 0:14:10.209
<v Speaker 2>Fair enough.

0:14:10.290 --> 0:14:11.910
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I guess if your job is to get...

0:14:12.410 --> 0:14:14.790
<v Speaker 1>in front of people and, and, and you need answers or.

0:14:14.770 --> 0:14:15.590
<v Speaker 2>You need results.

0:14:15.610 --> 0:14:18.540
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. It depends on like, you know, the level of,

0:14:19.150 --> 0:14:21.530
<v Speaker 5>of urgency. But I mean, if it's like a day

0:14:21.730 --> 0:14:24.350
<v Speaker 5>or hell no, I'm not, you're going to my junk

0:14:24.410 --> 0:14:24.960
<v Speaker 5>mail right now.

0:14:26.100 --> 0:14:26.980
<v Speaker 2>I got it. All right.

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:28.700
<v Speaker 1>Well, thank you for your confession, Avon. I hope you

0:14:28.740 --> 0:14:31.680
<v Speaker 1>feel good. You seem like a good guy. I'm sure

0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.060
<v Speaker 1>you don't mean anything by it. Have a good day.

0:14:34.260 --> 0:14:35.740
<v Speaker 2>Just reply to his email.

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:36.180
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:36.980
<v Speaker 2>That's all you gotta do.

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:38.600
<v Speaker 3>A week is, that's feasible.

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.810
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. The other one I've noticed lately is the spammers

0:14:41.870 --> 0:14:44.590
<v Speaker 1>are like, you know, the BS salespeople, whatever they're not ours,

0:14:44.650 --> 0:14:46.840
<v Speaker 1>but in general, we'll just say like, how's 11 o'clock

0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 1>on Friday?

0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:52.570
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it's not. I'm wide open. Not for you.

0:14:52.590 --> 0:14:53.190
<v Speaker 5>That's right.

0:14:53.310 --> 0:14:54.080
<v Speaker 2>As a matter of fact.
