Yes, communication formats are constantly being improved, but there are always people who adhere to old traditions.
However, it was Friday and they needed the data by Monday…
Imagine the OPs surprise when the title companys employee replied that they needed this information in letter form only.
And, of course, it was needed urgently, because the deal was scheduled to close on Monday.
Oh yes, we completely forgot to say that it was on Friday afternoon!
So the original poster shrugged and did as they were told.
Unfortunately, the author states, the post office has already closed.
And, as Scottie Pippen once said, the mailman doesnt deliver on Sunday!
On Monday morning, the OP got a hysterical call from the title company, who urgently needed information.
The author calmly said that they had sent the printout by mail, as required.
On the other side of the conversation, they excitedly said something like Screw that letter!
Just send us an email!
To this, the employee responded no less melancholy that they had already sent an email on Friday.
Some time later, the companys attorney called the original poster with a similar question.
The author reasonably objected that the attorney was also in CC of the Friday email.
It was a 2 hr 1 way drive for the courier.
Malicious compliance per se, isnt it?
Moreover, the telephone conversation on Monday clearly confirms that email was still an absolutely legitimate option.
Moreover, the first does not exclude the second…
Unfortunately, this also happens in business, Alexei summarizes.
And things didnt end well in their situation either.
