asking to transition the conversation to email or just start with email. Calls for me have been simply dumbed down to nothing other than informal conversation. If I have some try to talk to me about professional things, then i ask for an email, and I will email them back. Also, ask for any documentation by email because anything they say to me is on deaf ears unless there an email that can be sent with it. I have given up on phone calling. It is just nothing more than an annoyance for me. Text me or email me. Calling me is useless.
Good Lord, you sound fucking painful to work with. Explaining complex shit over chat is a massive fucking pain in the ass.
Explaining complex topics over phone calls is worse
👌👍
If it is an issue that can be fixed in 3 minutes, then I don't see how that is turning into multiple emails over a span of weeks. Also, most people are not being paid enough to be on call out of work, and I would rather not have a phone call off the clock. I never got reported to management. In fact, more trouble seems to happen from these phone calls where I have to just remember what was said instead of reading an email for when I misremember a task or crucial step.
Lazy to respond to emails & having a "black hole inbox" seems at least as deserving of being reported to management.
Bullshit... That's what mail rules are for.
