Idk if its a generational thing but I hate when people at work call my cell unexpectedly. Can’t we just set up a zoom call?

Son, when I was your age I had to listen to partner voicemails in the snow uphill both ways. Sometimes they would get cut off due to time limits and they would call back and leave a second one.

It’s largely generational as you mentioned and practiced by folks who likely value a stodgy hierarchy over common courtesy.

Feel similarly, but I think they view it as being able to walk up to your desk. Doesn’t make it any less annoying

Agree especially when clients do this. I have other clients and internal meetings, you don't know my schedule so please ask before randomly calling to take up 30 mins of my time.

Yeah I just don’t answer when this happens, tends to happen after I’m offline too
