Can anyone give me a 'Fuck you, Neil'?

[RamsaySnowsSausage]

I sent some info out on Monday to some shareholders in my job. I sent an update to the information out today.

A Neil, who I have never had any interaction with, but who is a senior shareholder replied...

Thanks Ramsay, would have been good to know that on Monday and everyone agrees.

He copied in everone. It's more than my job is worth to respond...but a FU would be much appreciated.

And share any work frustrations...I'll be on your side.

Can you just do the thumbs up emoji on Outlook email?
it doesn’t get more passive aggressive than that and indicates you aren’t even going to take the time to type a reply to him.
Or if you wanted to really fuck with him do the love heart.

Ignore entirely.
Neil’s a prick.

Or ask the person who is to blame how you should respond.

Thumbs up 😂
I hate that.

Unless your Neil

What would he do to you if you responded politely and apologetically about the information not being available to you until whatever date it was.

Give you a warning? Shout at you? What would happen?

@DuckbilledSplatterPuff can I use Splatter Puff as a swear phrase?
Banging a toe, paper cut, caught in traffic? Internet goes down at work?
ETA Still hate Neil.

Thank you Niall,

I will feed this back to managers that were unavailable at the start of the week.
May we endeavour as a team to continue to
get information out in a timely manner.

Think this every time he emails.

Not Neil, Kneel!

“I know, right!! We would all have loved this information earlier but unfortunately there are so many people on leave this week. Thank goodness we work in a ‘no blame culture’ so we can’t chew people out for taking their legally allowed holidays’

that would really fuck with him.

Yes exactly. I'd definitely go back and cc everyone in. But maybe you could say

"yes I thought that too. It was a pity it only became available today, wasn't it. But hopefully it will be of use now"

As above but replace Kind regards with Hope this helps which is basically fuck you

My Fil sends us msgs with noted in, which I particularly dislike.

Noted is really perfect here.

brilliant.

I’d probably reply something like

Hi Neil, thanks for coming back to me and yes I agree with you. Unfortunately the information just came through to me today but I hope you still find it of some use. If you need anything else, please do let me know.

so you are being clear to all this was not your fault whilst being nice and professional making him look like an arsehole. Hopefully.

Noted

With all good wishes

😆

Just answer that "Yes, I agree it would have been useful on Monday but sadly it was not made available to me until today, at which point I swiftly circulated it to the relevant persons. Unfortunately matters of this nature are outside of my control."

Passive aggressive asshole - how the fuck does he know everyone agrees? Did he run a poll?

You have to reply, you can't let bullies get away with this sort of shit.

'I'm so sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. Please accept my apology for not having this information available to me until yesterday.'

Dear all-

To answer Neil’s question:

Yesterdays email was up update highlighting NEW information about XYZ what was not available on Monday.

As always, I will continue to give updates to the team as information becomes available.

Kindest regards,
OP

I had a similar situation not long ago and I replied:

Dear Self Important Twit,

I have forwarded your email on to the CEO and will let you know once I receive their feedback.

Kind regards,

ColinCaterpillarsNo1Fan

Well the self important twit really shit himself and wanted to know if I had already sent the email, of course I had. I knew exactly what the CEO thought of the twit, which is why I did it ! 😀

Neil is a douchebag

Surely Kneel. (I have a DS called Neil.)

Neale didnt get the memo on that one though did he?

Would have been helpful to have the no blame memo sent out earlier than this!

"Noted'

Fuck You!!

It was his mistake for copying everyone, because now they know he is a twat.
