Just a rant: joined an industry team working with a VP who has no clout at the company. She has me emailing very senior people (VP/SVP) level with random requests, and when they don’t respond, she blames my “poorly written emails.” No, they aren’t poorly written.

I’ve had this issue. I ended up sending drafts of my emails to my lead bc she’d constantly complain. I’d get her ok on the email and then send it off so she couldn’t say that I didn’t explain something properly or come up with any excuse

Ugh so annoying. I would send only the emails for those higher ups and tell her you don’t want any discrepancies or miscommunication
