This is legitimately very effective at stopping nonsense.
"Can you make a ticket please? And talk to the team lead about prioritizing it"
Re-word that "I've prioritized my tasks in JIRA, and I hope you've been using it too."
.. except, not jira. There are so many better options.
Haha. At my partner's job, IT had to send out an email clarifying some message from a VP wasn't phishing because so many people reported it for being suspicious lol.
This does happen though when they cc me on an email that has nothing to do with me, and expect me to dig through the whole thread to see why it's relevant.
30+ replies deep, initial email sent six months ago, topic has changed multiple times since it first started.
That's when you set up a meeting to clarify your involvement.
