| Apr 2, 2020 at 22:47 | comment | added | smci | @Allure: No, these are very important missing basic facts. You're required to state them in the question. If you were A,B&C's manager and they didn't do what you told them, that's a very different situation to if you four are all peers in the same department. Or if C is the manager. (What was the chain of command and who did not follow it? or invoke it by escalating?) | |
| Apr 2, 2020 at 22:44 | comment | added | Allure | @smci That was argued to death in the comments & some of the answers. I'm not going to defend the processes other than to say that some things cannot be readily conveyed over the internet. They are irrelevant anyway, since the question is not asking for "how do I fix my processes". | |
| Apr 2, 2020 at 21:08 | comment | added | smci | Crucial missing information: are you and these three people all peers? Who's in charge? Who's their manager? Did any of you four make the relevant manager(s) aware that nothing was happening due to a circle of finger-pointing? Was there not some weekly status email or project review that should detect this sort of thing? Your question suggests lots of broken process. | |

| Oct 11, 2019 at 13:36 | comment | added | Steve Smith | As a lot of the answers here have already asked, are you their manager? | |

| Oct 10, 2019 at 22:19 | comment | added | Matija Nalis | Do you use a ticketing system? You should, and it should have owners, so at least "Charlie was waiting for Bob" does not happen (he would reassign the ticket to one on who's turn is to take action). Email is terrible choice for such things. | |

"I could care less" is the wrong phrase. It's "I couldn't care less" in the case - who is to blame is unimportant to you.
