I’M AN OFFICE WORKER Not really, I’m a teacher with some administrative duties

For context, I work in supporting UCAS applications for students.

I am requested to email a reference about a student’s application. I email it.

I receive an email, replying to my previous email containing the reference, saying they have not received the reference, and please send it immediately.

I send it again with the references attached once more. I receive another email, replying to mine, stating they haven’t received the reference.

Livid.

Could be some kind of spam filter removing the attachment? It’s definitely a them problem, though.

Yeah, you’re right. I’m going to have to phone them up to ensure they’ve received it.

The urge to be snarky is something I’ll have to keep under control…

I have just had a thirty minute phone call with them, where they stated they could not see the previous chain emails. They could see an email from me, and I can physically see that I sent the reference as an attachment, and they state they can see the email but not the attachment. :neutral_face:

I finally send the reference in the body of the email, and they’ve received it.

This is not how I want to spend my holidays.

If this was me and I occasionally have this kind of exchange with students who can’t see where I’ve uploaded or attached things, I’ll often send a screen shot with an arrow and a snarky ‘Here?’ done in MS Paint.

Would be really nice if people responded to my time off requests, even to say “Got your email, I’ll look into it and let you know”

I think this poll may have been rigged.

Still, I hope everything’s okay, whatever the outcome…

I have respected the poll.

How did it go?

Dunno, I’ve turned my laptop off after sending the email and am now lying down on the sofa under a blanket. Like a true professional.

Turns out the work email account has blocked a load of email addresses of employees from emailing them. Cheers for letting us know.
