To passively aggressively send the same email again with out comment after no answer?

It’s to an admission officer at a school so for them it’s a work email: for me it’s time-sensitive

OP posts:

I often do that - why waste your time?

Rachel1874 · 06/03/2020 18:02

I wouldn't, I would forward and add a comment just explaining that it is time sensitive to you could someone please respond to the below email.

Send it again but don't be passive aggressive about it. Ask when you could expect a response to the email you sent on xx/xx/xxxx.

Why are people still giving suggestions?
It was resolved over 24 hours ago.
Not even like the ops update was several posts away 🤣

People are busy and things get overlooked. It is important to you so just keep on trying by different means, it really won’t bother them. I’ve been trying to get hold of someone for two weeks now and finally managed today. Have phoned, emailed, tried getting hold of them through colleagues and kept trying, I was polite in every encounter but went for it til I got through, otherwise you run the risk of being ignored. I think it’s fine til you get at least a holding statement.

Not if you want your desired outcome.

Call them or just email again saying what @LukeSkywalkingOnTheseHaters said.

I’d call to make sure they got the email.

Inwiththenew · 07/03/2020 09:24

It just happened to me actually and if I hadn’t called he might have lost his place. Assumptions, misunderstandings can be made without actual human connection.

It’s clearly as easy to overlook emails as it is to overlook the OP’s updates!

Jane2357 · 07/03/2020 10:55

You are not being unreasonable; you could do better. You need an email chain that show that he has not answered his email. A bit of embarrassment might give him the incentive. I would just go round to his place of work, and politely ask to see him.

Yes, but with a topping note saying you are reminding them that this is time sensitive and you haven't had a reply.
