Michael W Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I have had multiple emails from someone, all accompanied with the "high importance' marking on them. None of them are highly important. In fact, I would say they are all highly routine. Really pisses me off when people do this. Hope they enjoy their 4.59pm response. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the sounds of the sort of charlatans they attract I'm sure I'd be running the place within a week. On 17/10/2022 at 15:55, scottsdad said: Spent part of today as part of an interview panel. In the end it came down to two candidates and we struggled to separate which one to appoint as first choice candidate, and which one to have as a backup. Another guy on the panel started talking about the second candidate. "Well, his hands were shaking a bit, and he has grey hair even though he is younger than me. Maybe he has a medical condition. Maybe we should appoint the other one, just in case" The woman from HR was, to say the least, not best pleased. I like my chances, boys! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday was my last day at work before taking a few days off. One student emailed me 5 times in the space of 2 minutes, all full of words like 'Urgent'. All to do with the fact he has to resit a course in April 2023. That isn't urgent to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work on the basis that if something really is urgent, they'll phone me. Or, if we both happen to be in the office, they'll come over and talk about it. If I'm sent an email that clearly isn't urgent and has no date/time by which something must be done, I'll reply when I have time to do so and have done the more important stuff. 32 minutes ago, DiegoDiego said: 2 hours ago, Michael W said: I have had multiple emails from someone, all accompanied with the "high importance' marking on them.

scottsdad Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 The Prof has a permanent out of office reply going stating that for student queries, he will get back to them within 5 working days unless on holiday. I get this whenever I email him. Students get these then move on to someone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the way to fix this is to put your own out of office on stating 10 working days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
