Is the word choice of immediately problematic here? Did I paint myself into a corner? A simple word change could fix this
One can always quibble about wording. I don’t think you have anything to apologize for. I simple word change might improve this, but echoing what jamincan said, I would suggest that no amount of extra work will eliminate the possibility of people having an ungrateful attitude towards your efforts.
If you want to spend the time on it, replacing the word “immediately” with a different word that connotes emphasis but doesn’t have any meaning associated with things happening right away wouldn’t be a bad idea. Perhaps “without hesitation”? The phrase “without quarter” is also coming to mind but I think that’s a little obsolescent.
