selective e-mail

Similar to selective hearing, but when a colleague (usually a Manager) only chooses to respond to e-mails which suit their needs.

Typically, this is because they don't know *how* to respond, as a result of being incompetent.
They do this regardless of the impact their lack of reply has on their staff/colleagues.

Ultimately, they will not be held responsible for their lack of response and the blame will fall on the person who was awaiting their response!
Ben: "Corey, did you get my e-mail last Monday?"
Corey: "Yeah, mate."
Ben: "..... Can you let me know how to move forward on that? I need your guidance."
Corey: "Sure! I'll reply to you when I'm at my desk."
Matt: "Corey won't reply to your e-mail. He has selective e-mail, remember?"
Ben: "Shit."

Dessert Selectivity

Noun: The culinary problem of having unlimited wants and needs for after dinner sweets but only a finite number of choices.
Don't get mad at me for eating the last piece of homemade apple pie, you had plenty of time to eat it but instead you used poor dessert selectivity and chose to eat a handful of tootsie rolls.
