    Per my last email, this is on my radar, but I really don’t have the bandwidth to deal with it at the moment. I’m just following up with you really quickly, please advise on how’d you’d like to proceed. Correct me if I’m wrong, but couldn’t Tanya in HR take lead on this?

      This is Indian English, same as “I have a doubt”. It’s not something you commonly hear outside India.

        boring work stuff, they entered wrong data and made a ticket to fix it several months after the fact. That data they enter is the input for a bunch of calculations, so cleaning up that mess is a lot of work and I’m the only one equipped to do it. They should be well aware of the importance of being exact with what they enter and only signing off on it when they’re 100% sure it’s correct, yet they keep messing it up. They made a stupid excuse about having to sign off on it even though they knew it wasn’t 100% done, when it’s been made perfectly clear that this is unacceptable regardless of circumstances because of legal ($$$$) ramifications

        edit: I should add that those ramifications are potentially severe enough to bankrupt us. That particular administrative body does not fuck around and will tear us a new one if they smell blood

          Sounds like GDPR / HFEA / other medical or significant legal body. They often also give nice fat juicy bonuses to people who report problems that get looked into, and if a company self-reports will often overlook issues provided there’s a serious attention to cleaning shit up.

    Disagree with “on my radar”, I do give a shit - and I’ll get to it, there’s just 8 other things catching fire that need dealt first…

    For B2B emails, “The invoice should be paid by Friday” means don’t hold your breath, the invoice won’t be paid by Friday and you need to set time aside to call and follow up like 20 times over the course of the next month.

    When I say “It’s on my radar”, it means “yes, I am going to do this, but wait your turn”.

    There is also “As discussed” meaning “We spoke about this already, but I need this as proof”

    Now I am concerned. When I say “correct me if I’m wrong”, I usually mean that literally.
