minus-square@Railcar8095@lemm.eelinkfedilink9•10 months agoWhat’s worse, after you “hi” them back, some people (looking at you project managers) just ducking call without any explanation. Drives me nuts
minus-square@Darkassassin07@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish4•10 months agoReject call. ‘why didn’t you answer’ ‘I’m not available for calls right now’ ‘why’ ‘that’s not your business’ I’ve wandered down this road a few times now.
minus-square@Railcar8095@lemm.eelinkfedilink1•10 months agoGot reported to my manager for doing just that. My rule was simple: if you’re not my boss, I need to know what the call is about in advanced.

minus-square@Possible6388@beehaw.orglinkfedilink2•10 months agoOr I think worse yet, I ask a question, and they don’t reply for a while so then when they do respond all they say is “hi.” It infuriates me, I don’t need to be at my desk for you to answer the question I left you above! Ughhh
