Managers that text every evening...



Our manager has started using an app to communicate with us. That is equally annoying. So now, we have to look at e-mails, texts and the app! On top of that she wants to have conference calls all the time. She hasn't gotten the clue that most of us want to be left alone because the kiss ups keep sending thumbs ups.

You forgot above voice mail, the second oldest method of biz comm, only to snail mail, or have those been abandoned at your company?
 
i agree with the above poster

All companies should start giving managers guidance on when/ how/ what to text. This has been done with emails - very clear guidance as to what/how your emails should consist of.
Managers that t4xt all the time- especially in the evenings- are displaying a lack of self awareness.
AMEN!
 
i don’t know if it is as much about being afraid to put things in an email as it is just sheer laziness and low emotional intelligence.

My manager walks around with his phone as a third hand. He is constantly checking sales data and spewing out endless text messages telling us what we need to do. Then 6 out of 10 people in my district feel the need to thumbs up or heart or exclamation point EVERYTHING he sends out. When I get up in the morning their are usually already 20 text messages b/c these people have texted and then ‘liked’ random nonsense all evening.
Wow you have 10 people in your district? At Exact Sciences managers only manage 5 people or less. Managers also work their own territory.
