@op - If you "called out" someone especially in an email, that's poor professionalism.

Called out or stated a fact in a way that could be perceived as rude or negative? If you call them out and belittle them then you’re an idiot (ironic). But if you stated something that is known in maybe not the best way I would try and get some face time with the exec and apologize, explain where you were coming from and what you meant by it, and ask forgiveness. Hiding behind an email is cowardly but owning up that you made a mistake and directly speaking with someone shows you care and are mature enough to handle tough situations. It might be awkward and they might dislike you, but they’ll respect your courage to speak up for what was ‘right’.

To be honest if you felt the need to call out an exec on the client side that probably should have been a phone call or, even better, an in person conversation. If you're really comfortable with the client and you have a solid relationship then it might be fine in an email but it really depends on your situation.

Was it a huge error? Did you correct them or did you make a recommendation based on best practices? Was there an audience on your email chain? What was the tone of your email? Having that discussion over the phone cuts out a lot of variables that could potentially cause some issues.

If the client is wrong then you're totally right to say something. A large % of this job is knowing your client and navigating social situations so I'd just take this as a learning experience for the future.

I think he meant internal execs.

Ahhhh my misunderstanding...although honestly I'd probably handle it about the same. Still better with a phone or in person conversation. I think most of that still applies honestly.

Thanks for the correction though EY2.

But it got back to me through my counselor...

My response to a SM in an email was too blunt. @EY2 we’re u fired.

Depends on what he meant by blunt.

Well all I’m saying is there seems to be an unspoken rule that you can’t call out execs when they are wrong or don’t follow through with what they say.
