    I would reply, “If I’m curt with you it’s because time is a factor. See you on fucking Friday.”

      Someone, in a mail including my boss and other managers, complained that my replies were too short

      To which I replied

      ‘They are as long as they need to be.’

      So she went ‘A little warmth would help communication greatly’ or some other bullshit.

      So I added automatic top and bottom text to my emails and for the past idk 10 years or so, all my emails start with ‘Hi,’ and end with ‘Cordially.’
