Calling Rule
Does anyone here answer their phone? I don't even have my ringer turned on.
Only for family and coworkers, and the latter only when I'm working.
If I don't have your number, you can attempt to convince me of your importance via voicemail, or text me like fucking normal.
I’ve this theory that mostly Americans never answer the phone due to can-spam laws and such.
I usually answer if i see a call and it is convenient, but phone is always on silent.
nah if i dont know your number you have to text me/ mail me
Sends instagram message to business account
Unrelated question: Is the markdown above broken for anyone else? There are random cases where it's broken for my client and am trying to to nail down the conditions better for the dev. (I am on Connect)
I hate calling. I also hate when someone calls me with important info. Bro just give me a well written overview, with ordered lists and shit, so I have a single source of truth to have as reference later, and can serve as a basis for our future discussions.
Reference for later
Exactly this. Ive got too much shit in my brain to remember this. Not to mention, you called while im at [place] and cant dedicate brain power to you. Remember this isnt the days of land lines where you had to be home, and available to answer the phone, and most people kept note pads right next to the phone so they could write down that information
I send detailed e-mails then go to people's desks so I know they understand. Then follow up with another e-mail so they can be held accountable. If I can't make it to their work center, I am calling and making sure nothing is open to interpretation. People ignore e-mails and long work group chats all the time...
Fuck off, yellow. It's not that easy 😭
...am I in the minority where I don't mind making calls all that much? I prefer doing things online, but sometimes a 5 minute call is easier than dragged out asynchronous correspondence.
If you like being on hold for 2 hours
Although lately I've been burned multiple times by inaccurate online information saying a place was open when it wasn't, so I've started to call ahead instead.
Nah if I'm on hold for too long I just hang up unless I have no other alternative.
I can read faster than you can talk, please just text me. I don't want to suffer through all of your ums and uhs.
Calling is for friends and family only. Change my mind.
(and emergencies obviously)
Saw a similar thread in BitchSky.
I'm nuanced, but it will be in my time, at my terms.
Leave a recording if it's low priority🔻.
This is so pathetic and annoying. Just fucking call, it's not hard, stop babying adults. Not all millennials and Gen Z live in constant fear and helplessness.
