Comment on Is it disrespectful to call someone instead of answering their email?

If I email you and you call me instead of emailing back I’m screening your call. Just send an email back, I would have called you if it needed to be a phone call.

Some things just lead to a bunch of questions that are annoyingly slow to sort out via email. Or the sender is clearly starting with a wrong assumption that will make any text communication come across the wrong way and a phone call could sort that out quickly.
Do you respond well to an email reply that asks to do a call instead?

Asking for a call to clarify would be a much better approach. I should preface that I am in IT. My workplace had no help tickets or IT help voip lines when I got here. I worked very hard to be able to take these calls all day. So I have less time for phone calls than the average office employee. I’m like Help Desk 1-3 and SME for a few programs at my workplace.

This is such a boomer comment. Literally nothing is better as a phone call. Having to deal with shitty connections, accents, not being able to think for a moment to prepare a reply, not being able to reference anything, not being able to proof read your response. It’s absurd.

I guess I just work with more complicated topics.

Yeah. That’s why the most complicated topics, like astrophysics, are always described orally, rather than writing written reports

Making an appointment for a call is the way I would do it. Otherwise I’ll just assume it’s spam because most calls are.
