I’m someone who does this, and let me explain why.
It’s so you don’t have any excuse to ignore me. When I need an answer for something, if I send you an email, you’re going to either lose it in that jungle you call an inbox, or put it aside as “something to get to later” and inevitably forget about it. So I’ll just cut through all that and give you a call directly. If you don’t answer your desk phone, I’ll call your cell phone. I’ll get my answer one way or another, then it’s done. I don’t have to continually pester you with emails or delay things. One and done.
Your work is not more important than what's already on my plate, and if you do this frequently, it's going to be intentionally deprioritized.
It's amazing how busy I am when the squeaky wheel screams for the 6th time this week.
In my experience it depends on who is the caller. Sometimes some have to do a truckload of followup questions is not feasible to do in an email I reckon it happens when the caller is someone intelligent with a knowledgeable background. Many times I end up repeating the very fucking same thing of the mail 3 or 4 times this happens with suckers that got the position by sucking and don't understand jack shit about what I do. Today coincidentally and sadly I have some of the second. And I wish I would turn this into a fist fight.
That’s fair, and if you work in an environment where people are responsive to emails, that’s great. Unfortunately I work with a bunch of dinosaurs who would almost prefer a Western Express telegram over an email. I’ve had to physically go to their office and knock on their door to get shit done sometimes.
Yeah I get it, some people just hasn't their brain wired to handle telecommunications altogether. My. Mother thinks she gets Facebook but fb totally gets her.
