[QUOTE="CV355, post: 15739557, member: 181885"] I prefer email, since I've had to pull 5 or 6 year old emails to end a conflict before. If it's not in writing, it didn't happen. If you ever work with someone who refuses to put anything in writing, be cautious. As for texting, I have a few customers and suppliers who we've developed very good working relationships with- pretty much to the point of friendship outside of work. I obviously can't let that influence decision-making at work, but if they send me a text message saying "hey, I need ____ quick," I don't mind staying a little late to help them out of a jam. It's a little more interpersonal but certainly not appropriate in all circumstances. If it's important, put it in email If it's in passing, I don't mind a phone call or text. When dealing with co-workers, it's the same set of rules but the texting is more relaxed. As long as it is work-related, I don't care. I'll often get a "hey, where are the drawings for ________" text, or "can you explain how _______ works?" with a picture of some mechanism. Sometimes I get a "you really suck" message with a picture of something that someone broke. [/QUOTE]
