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…

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’m on thunder.

Thanks! That worked as expected. Odd. I’ll just point the dev to this and a couple of other threads I have seen this happen. Cheers!
I’m using Connect and it’s broken for me to. I wonder if it’s just MD with underscores that’s broken?

I’m on interstellar and the spoilers just seemingly randomly don’t work sometimes. happened when I was on boost to.
…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)
Why would that be the case, though?
I don’t want to get called by coworkers/customers/gov/companies (except they are friends or if it’s an emergency) and waste my time while I have other shit to do. Or if I just don’t want to talk to them. A text message does the job.
Yeah that makes sense
Although for something where the time matters (like ordering food or warning someone) I still prefer calls
But that’s just me
