I always just ask people to email what they just said so it’s in writing, so it’s clear, and I have all the details, and it’s on my to do list. Make me look like I’m detail oriented, like I want to please them and do it exactly how they want.
I feel like I’m that jerk 😒. I need a way to leave a not for the guys to work on when they get to work in their morning, long before morning in my time zone. But they don’t do email so I have no choice but to text. Apparently a text is something urgent that they feel like they need to respond to immediately. I can’t win

I know, its hard. I’m dealing with a colleague like this higher in the org. Some are jerks, but I find most people respect the honesty.
