This seems about right.
Personally I dislike getting on calls for stuff. I think the clarity of text is much better, and the fact that it’s asynchronous means I can look things up while responding, meaning my responses are more high quality.
It’s super frustrating being like this and then interacting with people who don’t want to write things out clearly or don’t want to read my responses, and then ask me to “hop on a call”.
- blitzar 5y ago'Can you talk me through this document you sent me'. I might have limited my career progression briefly when I asked if they had read the document, then called them out on the lie - 'was the 2 paragraph summary at the start not clear'. I now put the summary in the email body as well, apparently it is easy to miss the heading Summary.
- hutzlibu 5y ago"apparently it is easy to miss the heading Summary." It is, when you are not paying attention, because you are busy with lots of other stuff. So putting the summary in the email seems lile a working pragmatic approach.
- laserlight 5y agoIn that case they will be so busy that they are not even able to read the summary in the email. Busyness is an excuse.
- WesolyKubeczek 5y agoIt’s almost like your busyness is paramount and the other person may never be busy in case you need to quick-question them at your whim.
- Aeolun 5y agoIf you have time to ‘hop on a call’ and discuss things you are clearly not busy.
- blitzar 5y agoAllegedly they read the document, but somehow they didnt see the section at the start titled summary. It was a lie - they didnt read the document, I was busy is the dog ate my homework level of excuses. If you are taking home 7 figures you should probably brush up on your excuses.
