Episode 171 | Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Follow-Up?

Question

 Hey, Work Wives! This is Elena from Springfield, Massachusetts, and I have a problem. I have a counterpart on another team, a cross-functional team, that like, normally we work together really well, but she's just not responding to what I'm looking for, and I feel like I'm bothering her, and I really don't want to like, you know, be the asshole who's like, bothering people. So, how do I follow up without coming across as like a pain in the butt? Can you help me out?

Summary

Sure, following up might make your feel like a bother, but what’s worse: being a bother or not doing your job?
