I just learned that somebody chose to get offended that I walked to their office to follow up on something because they hadn't responded to 3 emails I had sent over the course of 2 days (and I know they weren't out of office). Haha seriously? I feel like I was giving them plenty of time to respond but apparently not according to them. How many emails is enough before you call or follow up in person?

God people are sensitive these days. Who complains about this?? If you needed an answer quickly - and it sounds like you did - there is nothing wrong with popping into their office after two days of radio silence. I'll give a full day, but after that, there's no excuse for them not to get back to you unless they're on PTO or something.

I'm so glad someone else feels this way. Like heaven forbid I try to actually do my job

2 days is a pretty good rule of thumb.

Seems a bit long to me honestly. I feel like 24 hrs is enough time

Three emails in two days feels like plenty before a quick in-person follow-up. That said, after one or two emails, I’ll usually switch it up, probably a quick Teams/Slack ping, just so it doesn’t feel like inbox piling.

Good idea, I'll probably try to switch it up next time.

Is it urgent? I hate people coming to me in person when they can call, and I hate people calling when they can chat or email.

I guess not super urgent? I mean I would like to continue on with my work and projects
