Unpopular opinion: some people are much easier to deal with face-to-face.
I don't know what it is, but there's a sort of personality type which seems common among technical roles. Text communication is curt, feathers get ruffled easily in zoom/email, just really hard to work with.
Then you sit down with them for 15-30 minutes and talk, it's like night and day. They see you as a person, things resolve quickly, you both go about your day.
Even though I do most of my work remotely, I try to schedule interactions with these people on days when we will both be in the same room. They're not bad people, but it makes things so much easier, so much less drama.
