Scot over at Cube Rules posts this piece on email responsiveness. He has some helpful tips.
Scot’s post made me think of those who fail to respond. I don’t think it is ever ok (with the exception of extreme circumstances like system issues, human mistakes, etc.) to not respond. If you’re like me, there’s nothing that makes me angrier than a no response. Don’t people understand the idea of bridges burned. Besides, even if you don’t want what I’m offering, you can end the issue in one sentence or less and leave your reputation in tact.
So is it ok to not respond? What say you?
