re: Co-Workers Who Never Check Their Emails

If the emails are that important, just start CC'ing your boss. If the co-worker isn't responding to time-sensitive emails consistently, make sure your boss knows any delay in getting shite done is their fault and not yours.

90% of my emails come from my clients. It's usually a problem that they want fixed immediately. I keep records of all emails and even if I do have a phone conversation, I will follow it up with an email to recap what was just said on the phone. Relying on phone conversations would be very dangerous bc it's much easier to produce email exchanges of what happened that to relay a verbal phone convo should the issue escalate into a he said/ she said situation. Not responding to emails would cost me my job bc it would mean I wasn't doing my job.
