Sometimes you might need to ask for a second opinion on what you plan on emailing someone, and if in doubt abandon the email for a direct conversation in person. You can easily say things in an email that you would never say face-to-face, and this is unprofessional and toxic. It’s far too easy in emails to assume wrong conclusions. When you speak face-to-face people can understand the tone you are using, ask questions and discuss issues as they arise. Email is convenient, but lacks cues of the spoken word and body language. It might be better to pick up the phone, or even better have face-to-face discussions. Don’t discuss sensitive issues in an email.
