Tap for spoiler
we’re apparently all just painting hypotheticals/anecdotes so here’s mine
You probably didn’t need an immediate answer, but you wanted one. You also pressured me into making a quick decision based on 2 paragraphs of new information you just dumped on me, expecting me to not only remember all of it, but immediately understand and integrate it into my decision making process.
I’ll probably remember half of your info dump at best and the likelihood of you getting the answer you were hoping for just went down hard because I feel slighted by your ambush and because I don’t feel informed enough to give you a “yes”.
If I did say “yes” we might be in bigger trouble though, since I likely misunderstood or forgot something.
Put it in writing and make both our lives easier.
You can still call if I didn’t reply after 10 minutes.
You can even include your deadline in the message if you have one.

weird I’m an elder millennial and you just sound unprepared. do I need to hold your hand? why can’t you find the information you need yourself with the resources everyone else uses? why are you always in this state on immediacy? why is your failing someone else’s fault because they didn’t answer “immediately”? why do you sound like my abusive father? it’s almost like you don’t think ahead and blame others for your shortcomings. I have a shit memory and ADHD and I don’t need to “get someone on the horn”.

Boy a lot of projection going on here, lol.
There are many many pieces of information that you can’t just Google/LLM bro. Sometimes (though usually not often), that info needs to be known urgently. Expectation of many jobs.

Uh no, different people have different responsibilities and ownerships of parts of a process. That is a hallmark of any job where you work in a team. Occasionally, that elevates to an urgent level where a phone call is necessary to ensure a loop is closed.

I should’ve brought my laptop to the bottom of the dig and studied a whole ass different profession so someone who has actually studied and works to provide the info I need doesn’t have to answer the scary phone lol

“who should we hire to answer emergency technical calls?”
“hold on let me call someone to find out…. no one answerd”
“we need to act IMMEDIATELY! just hire anyone”
::hires phone phobic person, no training, no probationary period, full send::

It’s not a specific emergency phone operator position, rather just the relevant consultant or someone from the city. It’s their fuck up if they aren’t hiring someone who can actually handle the calls.
