So last week writer Danielle Rene asked her followers on Twitter to share their "favorite phrase to use in a professional clap back" and the responses got real pettty, real quick.
What is your favorite phrase to use in a professional clap back? Mine is "per my last email..."
Here we have the professional way to say, "Ummm can you fucking not?"
@DeeRene_ "Going forward, I would prefer that you..."
For when you want your coworkers to know you're definitely keeping receipts.
@DeeRene_ "In an effort to maintain clarity/transparency..."
And when you've been waiting a week for a project that should have taken a day.

And the pettiest phrase to end all work emails with in the future.
@DeeRene_ lmao nothing is more passive-aggressive than "PLEASE ADVISE...."
Happy emailing!
