    How on earth are your colleagues supposed to know this from “hi”?! If there really is an urgent problem, actually say what it is. Why do you expect all your colleagues to deduce that ‘hi’ means “production is currently shut down, please help immediately”?

    DON’T just say hi. Say what the problem is. Just saying ‘hi’ shows no respect whatsoever for your colleagues’ time management.

    Don’t expect people to make themselves available to you without telling them what for. “I reached out” is a shitty phrase for “I expected them to drop everything but I didn’t explain why or what the problem is and for some reason I’m blaming them for no progress happening. I tried prodding my colleagues silently with literally no information whatsoever and now I’m all out of options. Please can management intervene, because telling my colleagues absolutely nothing about what needs to be done isn’t working - for some reason they’re not doing anything. I act like my urgent work problem is utterly meaningless content-free chit-chat and then get butthurt when people don’t respond to it. Management needs to make sure all my colleagues always drop everything for me instantly on my say so without hesitation or any context because otherwise they’re unhelpful. Please tell my colleagues that ‘hi’ from me means it’s AN EMERGENCY WHICH MUST BE HANDLED IMMEDIATELY.”
