To expect Senior managers to say please and thank you?

Senior team changed a few years ago and new people brought in (all male).

Whenever they email, they never say 'please' or 'thank you'. It feels so unprofessional and really irks me!

My background is civil service where everyone was always very polite.

Am I being unreasonable in expecting some manners?

How do I call them out on this?

Working a school. Same thing there with senior leaders bar one. They seem to have all read the same management manual🙄

I've spent 20 years in professional services and the more senior (and older) the manager the more they are polite and well mannered.

The up and coming 30-somethings and 40-somethings not so much. The ones who could really do with storing up some brownie points too 🙄
