“Please call me.”
“No.”
“Please call me”
Translation: I want to tear you a new one through a non-written medium so it doesn’t get recorded.
“No”
Translation: You have no power here.
“I was just informed you weren’t on the morning stand up call this morning” implies that this person wasn’t there either.
The meek “please call me” was after the manager found out from upper management that they were far more replaceable then Caleb was.
Nah, “call me” always means “let’s make this a real-time social hierarchy game, because I’m good at exploiting verbal cues and expectations to shove people toward my desired goal.”
And also a way to move something to where there’s no proof of what was said.
Or it’s the manager seething with rage, wanting to vent that rage, but not being able to do it adequately via text message.
Exactly. If Caleb had it in writing that he was going to be paid regardless then the dude had some serious leverage.
Where I am a contractor we have successfully petitioned to delay a “morning standups” until 1:30 p.m. - Which is a much better time to have it because it gives everyone time to A actually wake up, and be there, and B let’s me actually read emails.
So many times things don’t get covered in the morning stand up because no one’s read their emails yet, and then you have to have another meeting at about 11:00 in order to discuss the contents of the email.
Unless the email pertains to the whole team and will take less than 5 minutes to discuss, keep it out of standup!
