How do you talk to someone in your team ( my staff ) to not write correspondences in ALL CAPS (all caps ) ? I also noticed that she doesn't use ALL CAPS to upper management and to her cliques at work. I just started in this job as a Manager of the team less than a month ago .
I need advise on how to handle this issue without rocking the boat.

Just ask her not to? It’s a really simple, straightforward ask

“Do you mean to be typing in all caps? I can’t tell if this emphasis is on purpose or not”

She knows what she is doing and why and needs to be corrected or ignored

Who cares if it’s all caps lol. I just ignore that and focus on discussing the topic or question at hand.

Seems like if she’s just doing it with you, there is a reason: she’s passive aggressive or she’s testing you. Since you are the new manager, address it right away

Ask if there is any particular reason behind it and then state that company format preference is MLA style. Quite simple.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

True or False: If a partner sends perfect emails (spelling, grammar, and punctuation), they ain’t really a boss. In other words, more short hand = more of a boss.
