My inbox with >1000 inread emails says otherwise. You want something from me? Call me. Emails are just for meeting notes and other information for archival. Fuck every single one asking me to do something via email.

Instant messaging is the absolutely worst by the way. Nothing is archived and its way less efficient than a quick call.

I am curious, do you pick up all your calls?

[–] Ibuthyr@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

If im not on dnd, yes. I work closely with project management and customers though.

You FUCKING REEK of C-suite...

[–] Ibuthyr@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He means you sound like a corporate executive. CEO, CIO, CFO....

[–] Ibuthyr@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Lol, No. Not even close. I'm a mechanical engineer and we're super understaffed. It's terrible!

Haha. I’m a mechanical engineer and I completely agree with you.

Sometimes there are 5 email responses in a chain with long comments from different people. I just want to have a 5 min call to sort it out. Also, I get a lot of emails while in a meeting and later need to get to work instead of checking all my emails. If you need something urgent, pick up the phone and call me or wait for a week until I clear my inbox.

Bless ya. Logistics here. I run equipment designed to be staffed by 4-6 people. We run it with 2-3. All the C-suite at my corporation can say about that is that we don't clean enough, lol.
