Surprise! You're in 615 Dilbert comics!

I totally know!

I give people ample time to respond to email. Sometimes several days. This escalation only happens to people who ignore emails.

If you're going to ignore emails at work, be prepared for the consequences.

If you don't want me to email you, tell me where else to go for the info. If you want to hoard knowledge, and you don't want to answer emails, you're gonna get the escalation.

Good lord I hope this is sarcasm.

He doesn't say this all happens in a thirty minute time frame... it could be over the course of a week.

Why don't you just talk to them face-to-face in the first place?

I send and receive dozens of emails each day. If I had to face-to-face, I would have no time for actual work. Also, probably half of the people I email aren't in the same building, but require driving 20 minutes at least. Some are on the other side of the US. Hard to do face-to-face then!

I'm really glad I don't work with you.
