How do I deal with or answer a junior person that whenever I ask a question the response is she sent an email about it, and she lately enjoys saying this during larger team calls? What gives? I could be involved in something else or heads down, but her MO appears to be to make it look like I chronically am not reading or tracking emails.

Her response may be annoying and come off as impertinent. Yet, in fairness, she might be giving you a perfectly good answer. If you're asking about things that have already been put in writing, there's nothing wrong with her citing that. At least that's the way I see it.

Would you accept this answer if it was somebody of your tenure? Or are you only glitching about it because it’s a woman? You’re already aware of it yet you still haven’t gone to go look at the emails that she sent before you ask a question.

I would honestly just try checking my email first before I een go to this person with questions. That way when you go to her you can say you already checked your email and couldn't find the information. If she still won't help you, I would go to someone above her.

There’s also a potential problem that the pertinent information may not be getting to the correct person or people. I find that when a newer employee is using that I sent it in an email. I’m not on the email mentioned. You might want to consider before meetings that you know that person will be attending is go through your emails and make sure you haven’t missed anything or make a note of what they have sent. If you know for sure you did not get that email and it’s not in your spam folder, mention that it’s best to get with her them after the meeting to cover the information. Best thing to do though is make sure you do not bring emotions into this. Keep it analytical.

If so what resources did you use?

Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs.
