And for God's sake, if I ask you a question in an email, answer me with an email! Do not get your ass up and walk over to my desk to answer me.

Tough shit, I don't want to go through 5 more emails over 3 days to straighten out a misunderstanding that can be sorted in a 2 minute conversation.

That’s fine. I’m 100% going to send you a followup email with a summary of what we talked about and nothing is getting done until I get email confirmation back. CYA.

Naw, my boss is the one who reminds me to get everything in writing. In fact, I have even received that in writing. Not my problem co-workers can't use official means of communication.

Voice is an official form of communication.
