Correct

Are you asking questions that you could probably answer yourself if you thought about them and did the research on your own? Maybe your Manager is just challenging you to be self-sufficient?

If you don’t have a specific question, or escalation, why the fuck would you want to get a reply. Don’t you get enough fucking email. And what if the reply has action items. Not too thrilled about that extra bit of return attention now, are we.

Let this be a lesson to you, to manage by exception, and give people the space to show you how good (or, ya know) they can be

Just say it! The new check ins should allow feedback both ways! Bring it up and just start with whether they want to keep seeing those updates or is helpful for them.

I have the bad habit of only responding when there’s a question. If all is well, all I can probably say is “thanks for update” which I feel is the same as acknowledging verbally in a stand up call with others so the person gets credit for something they’ve sent

I have an ED who never responds to my emails lol. I know for a fact he doesn't like me. But you need to do more digging to know for sure.

All I saw here at first was “I have erectile dysfunction”

Boss: I need you to stop challenging me on every decision.

Me: I don’t want us to have a confrontational relationship and I think we can agree something needs to change. When you make stupid decisions, that affects my business and it makes me feel like you’re not up to the job. That makes it harder for my team to do our jobs. I think to be an authentic leader I need to be radically candid with you and point our your mistakes. So are you willing to work with me on this?

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?

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.
