Am I overreacting or is it insane for my supervisor to receive a team wide email and within three minutes, respond to only me asking me to confirm receipt?

They didn’t read the email because if I ask a question about it, they’re clueless. They could also easily ’confirm receipt’ themselves in the time it takes them to ask me to do it.

I have never missed an email or not responded in a timely manner. This bothers me because I am typically the first to respond after I actually read the email.

VP has a point, but I’ve had a manager that would just toss things over to me out of laziness. But another that did it so I’d get used to leading comms and truly owning projects. Really depends on if your manager has a track record of laziness/over-delegation

I own everything. My supervisor is rarely at work to begin with if that gives better context. I prefer to respond to emails with the task completed/answered rather than confirm receipt and follow up again 30 minutes later.

They may have experienced you ignoring emails in the past and want to make sure you don’t miss this onez

Sounds like they count on you to make sure nothing gets missed.
