Comment on I’m not ignoring your message – I’m overwhelmed by the tyranny of being reachable

  If you don’t leave a voicemail, I assume it wasn’t important.

  I get asked sometimes when I don’t leave a voicemail why I didn’t. It’s because I don’t really care if you call back. I called because of something urgent, but not important. Just text me instead.

  If you call and I don’t pick up, leave a voicemail. If you don’t leave a voicemail, I assume it wasn’t important

  this a thousand times. IDK when people decided to not use the voicemail anymore.

  But to be honest I make it more radical and not even return all calls. because. priority 1 - call, not answered but with a voicemail

  priority 2 - unanswered call but a message sent afterwards.

  priority 3 - message only.

  an unanswered call on my side and no further information is for me simply to forget about it.

    Voicemail is annoying. Please never leave me a voicemail. Just text me.

      appearently when people call they do no like to text. because they have no hands free or whatever

      so voicemail is the better option than simply be pissed because i never called back.

  I tell people I have a 24 hour response window. Barring exceptional circumstances, I’ll get back to a message within 24 hours. Often faster, but that’s not guaranteed.
