Just got a job at Deloitte M&A in Atlanta and am currently looking to buy a house. Would you advise I buy closer to Atlanta or the suburbs? I personally want to be in the suburbs but I hear the traffic situation is quite bad. Current consultants in Atlanta, how much time do you actually spend in the office vs remote vs client site? Would you advise I try and stay closer to the office?

That's a tough one. I'm not sure there's any nice way to broach this subject without sounding insubordinate. Maybe you could propose a different strategy - something like "Hey, I wanted to apologize for being short with you yesterday. For future reference, is there a process we can put in place so that you'll know right away if I've seen an email and/or am working on it? Like, maybe I could send a quick note to confirm once an email is received? That way you won't have to worry and it'll save you time having to follow up with me?"
Ugh so sorry to hear this but I have a manager like that now so I totally get where you are coming from. I would just be sincere and say hey I am really sorry about how I handled that yesterday, I was just feeling frustrated. I did want to let you know though, I do stay up to date on reading my emails so I don't need you to follow up with me or feel like you need to. Something of that nature.
Eesh, I agree with SC1, looks like they're really the anxious type and projecting on you so I agree - frame the apology/ask as more of 'what can I do to help you' vs telling them what you want - there's probs some kind of middle ground there
Contrary to mainstream opinions, I don't think what you were in the wrong and should apoligize. You can say that you might not have shown up well however, would be interested in learning what he needs to see from you to provide him the confidence that YOU GOT IT. Approach it from a learning posture (not defensive/submissive/apologetic).
Honestly, I don’t know why he doesn’t request a read receipt for the emails he sends you. Obviously if you’ve opened or read it, he’d be notified and it eliminates the need for these constant “did you see my email” convos unless it’s genuinely urgent and/or time sensitive.
