On a scale of (totally okay) 0 <---> 10 (jerk) what do you think?
|
On the current rotation there are 4 residents (including me). We are responsible for making a schedule to cover the weekends. One month prior I e-mailed everyone asking to get together to make the schedule. Nothing came of it. A few weeks later I e-mailed again, again nothing. We were getting pretty close to the start of the rotation and I needed to know my free weekends so I made a schedule and e-mailed it to the 3 other people. I said in that e-mail to get back to me and I will submit the schedule in 2 days. Person A and B replied requesting changes that were fully accommodated. Person Z never replied. I submitted the schedule.
About 3 days after submitting the schedule I ran into person Z (day prior to start of new rotation) and he was like "so who is covering..."
me: O_O what do you mean? The schedule is submitted already
Long story short, apparently he hasn't checked his e-mail for the past month. He then flipped out and said I didn't all this without him.
However:
-three attempts via e-mail were made
-the e-mail was sent to his official program e-mail which we are required to check regularly. Last year they made a strong push for us to use that e-mail and even individually asked everyone if they had access.
Should this dude be babied or you snooze, you lose?
Am I totally fine here or a jerk?

I'd report him as a matter of course. It's a policy to check that email. He clearly failed to do so. What other *life-impacted* procedures are

you're fine. also I suggest you make the schedules from now on, and make sure all 3 know the deadline for adjustments prior to submission

I suggest putting him into the Caveman Blood feud league. He would fit right in -- nm

Don't stress. His problem. If you and the other 2 can accomodate him now, great. Otherwise, too bad, too sad. -- nm

0. Best suggestion: Create an initial schedule, then they can work out the details of swapping after. -- nm

Go full jerk and tell him he is S.O.L. You'll be completely justified. Hell, I'd report him to whoever manages
