For me chatting and not calling is about distraction. Very few people are allowed to distract me on their own terms. Sounds weird but I got used to it after a burnout and plenty of travelling.
The thing is that a call disrupts me whatever I am doing while on a chat I can answer whenever I have time physically and mentally. Usually the next time I run by my phone.
I would not want to go back
- linsomniac 1y agoMy wife is a nurse and is basically unreachable via voice while she is working, but texting she can get back to me when she isn't actively with a patient. A company was trying to follow up on a contact form. They called me while I was in a meeting, I used my "screen call" feature to tell them to call me back in 2 hours. They called me back in 1.5 hours when I was in another meeting, didn't leave a voice mail or call me back. A simple text of "When are you available to speak" would have been 1000x more productive. Yes, there are definitely cases where a phone call is faster than text. But the opposite is also true.
