My manager is like this. I don’t know how to him it’s easier to talk about something technical over the phone rather than in chat or email. When talking to people about IT crap, you have to sugar coat and use euphemisms which I don’t have to do as much in email and the benefit with email is I can convey literally what I’m trying to do. My manager just doesn’t want to fucking ready my emails.

Yeah, why would anyone want to have a two minute phone conversation when they could exchange the same amount of information over 20 emails across three days?

Honestly: the medium does not matter all that much imho. The one person in the conversation not being able to get their shit together is the problem. If everyone involved can communicate what they want to get done by when and what i have to do with it, im fine with a phonecall. Im even willing to summarize it via text afterwards if i don’t have to be the fucking rubber ducky again. Ugh.

Or like, you know, focus for a second and read the message instead of seeing text and responding only to first sentence, if not just the title xD
