Working in a almost full-remote org, I resonate with the foggy aspect. On transcripts and record keeping, I feel most remote orgs keep pretty good transcripts of their meetings and people understand why it matters and play by the rules.
Then, requests to have oral conversations outside of scheduled meetings usually means something derailed.
Either they're about to say something that can't be left in writing, or they intend to have a discussion that they shouldn't be having in the first place (they'll ask for something I'll probably have to refuse). Or things got awry enough that speed matters over tracability and transparency, and we're basically in red alert.
Right now I think "can we have a quick call" in a single message without any other context is probably the most dreadful thing to say to someone at work.
