This is the email I sent to him, I know it is rude but I can not stop myself.
Why you always send criticism through email? I don't
think you even understand what I tried to say. Are you
mad because XXX could not be done? Do you assume work will get done by just adding a date on the schedule without even telling us? I didn't know this at all so they were not on my plan. With my thousands emails about schedule and plan for the past 3 months, neither you or Ron said or added anything, why you blame me for everything at this point?
Here is his reply:
I did not criticize you or anyone else. I am not mad about anything. I don't blame you for everything. I can't discuss Ron's performance with you so I do not mention him. I simply stated the facts and did not name names. Look at what you wrote below. You said you set these deadlines 3 months ago and they were not met. That shows a real issue with planning and execution. Why get mad at me? It is not my fault. Same with XXX. You missed it. That is not my fault. Do NOT get mad at me and try to blame me. You should be mad at yourself and work to get better. This nonsense has to stop. I told you that yesterday. I will help you. I have real issues that need to be addressed. Why don't you work with me to address these issues?
I talked with him in the office the next day. He seemed didn't get mad at me. My hu*****and said I was like 5 years old and he didn't feel anything wrong with my boss' emails. My boss sent me another email after I appolized to him about my rude emails:
It was good to talk with you also. I want you to know that I value your contributions very much. I also enjoy working with you. You are very talented and I want you to be the best you can be.
