People saying 'you're welcome' in emails

[dipdye]

Who has time for this?!

Sent an email to say thank you, which IMO closes the conversation. Person emails back 'you're welcome'.

It's just unnecessary

@Phos

Attitudes like this are what make navigating work and email etiquette a nightmare. Don't send thank yous because Dipdye thinks its pointless but then Director over there thinks you're rude.

No director will ever think someone is rude for this.

Navigating work and email etiquette can be tough if you aren't a confident person.

This attitude is what creates rude & arrogant fuckers. Before too long we'll have threads on here like "AIBU to wonder who has the time to bother saying Thank you / being polite?"

WTAF is happening to society

I blame wokeness

What does wokeness have to do with this @GrannytoaUnicorn????

I may seem short and to the point over email, in real life I'm very chatty and polite. They are very different communication devices.

It was a slight tangent about general lack of respect in society. Wokeness has created so much more of the "but why should I have to....?" attitude and I wonder if believe that's caused even more of a drop in general politeness & respect.

Just an observation

Why does it bother you? 🙄

[quote Skinnytailedsquirrel]@dipdyedipdye...I disagree. An email is very casual, it's like talking to someone so you might say

"Susan, did you manage to complete the order?" Why would you say anything else?[/quote]
Not always - you have to know when to adjust your emails accordingly to suit the situation. Sometimes a quick ‘Hi Susan’ (always say hi/hello otherwise it sounds like an instruction) is sufficient, other times emails are very definitely not casual.
