minus-square@Railcar8095@lemm.eelinkfedilink9•1 year 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•1 year 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•1 year 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@Darkassassin07@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-21 year agoI just explain the same as above. If you’re not paying me for my time, you’re not entitled to it, nor an explanation of what I do in my own time. If we’re talking about time on the clock, that’s a different story.
minus-square@Possible6388@beehaw.orglinkfedilink2•1 year 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
