There’s a BO VP that has a habit of sending out long emails with multiple color fonts, last one had 5. How can I politely tell her that this just makes her emails harder to follow?

Dear god we had someone at one of our PBs who did the same. One of my coworkers passive aggressively started changing his emails/signatures to be annoying as well, until the other person finally took the hint

There’s a fine line between highlighting/bolding a few key points, and straight up bedazzling an email

like

I think this person uses this as a way of making a point or making the email easier to read, but it does the opposite.

Is there no reason to the color changes besides just being annoying? I’d just ask them “do you mind keeping the emails consistent in color as they’re difficult to read"

Dont do anything stated in the emails and highlight you are color blind

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

I'm feeling a lot of anger towards my manager (now he's acting normal but there were moments where he was condescending/dismissive/mocked my and others work/arrogant/said stuff was "wrong" constantly/belittling the difficulty of tasks etc. in the past project).
Maybe it is "standard chewing out" but it bothered me a lot. So much that I find myself still getting all fired up inside thinking about it...

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?
