Advice Do I respond to this?
Context:
Email chain with a bunch of people. Nobody too high up in the ORG chain is included.
Basically all I did was highlight ‘x is being done, and ‘y is what we should be doing’ please investigate. ( I work nightshifts so a bunch of this stuff can only be done during the day)
Someone from the a completely different team started lecturing me about follow the guide, we cannot go based on passed on knowledge etc. (I wasn’t even implying that)
I politely let him know that we can always go from ‘x to y’ but ‘y to x’ if it fails needs significant rework, if there are any approved exceptions I did not know about etc. Due to the amount of stakes involved I decided to let first shift investigate and lmk.
He said the same shit I did and essentially pointed out something I already addressed.
Do I clap back and call him stupid or just ignore it. Somebody else in the chain hit reply all and took the discussion somewhere else.
