Do you send ✨spicy✨ emails when someone is being rude or frustrating?

One of my PMs is going out of their way to call out verbiage in a video. I compromised and agreed to make edits, but they keep insisting that we need to use their EXACT wording because their AI tool told them there’s “no room for interpretation” but their wording literally does not make a difference (it’s PM wording). I sent a spicy email after they kept pushing—was it warranted?

Nah not worth it. Take the high road. People love a reaction and it will drive them crazier if they don't get a response. They clearly want to be seen.

And by tagging your boss and your bosses boss, this is no longer your problem. I would make sure your team is all on the same page but make your manager deal with it and you go focus on your other work.

FWIW-- you should still experience those spicy emotions. Write down what you'd really like to tell then and burn the paper, rip it up etc. Have the feelings but don't put them out there to them.

A bit more background, they also tagged my manager and her manager in a response asking about language they thought was wrong but I had already gotten approval on from her manager. And we made good after the first hiccup, but this is just too much for me. It’s such a low priority and like 10 people are going to see it lol

Should also note that my “spicy” isn’t really rude, it’s just strongly worded lol

Write regret it say it forget it.

How would you approach an interview process where the company sounds exciting but you feel confident the role would not be a growth opportunity for your skill set? Is there a good way to respectfully approach that topic with the interview team and find a role that might be more exciting for you? Or is it better to walk away?

How do people deal with manipulative/controlling in laws? I truly love my wife and we always thought our relationship with her parents would change after marriage and now 4 years later with a kid on the way, it hasn’t.

They legitimately cannot believe she wants to be more than a stay at home mom. Frustrated to the point of depression.
