How to reply to a rude email from your boss
The situation
Your manager sent a curt, blame-heavy email in front of a wider thread. You want to protect the working relationship without absorbing blame that isn't yours.
What they sent
This is unacceptable. I asked for the deck yesterday and it's still not done. Do I need to explain again what 'priority' means?
How to reply
Understood — I hear the urgency. The deck slipped because Tuesday's client escalation ate the block I'd held for it. Draft lands by 2pm today, and I'll flag priority conflicts sooner next time.
