[quote=Anonymous]OP has a really weird view of company policy.

I'm also chucking at her insistence that it's rude to ping someone with the "Do you have a minute for a question?" without identifying the question.  She clearly is not a lawyer and doesn't work with legal.  That is usually code for "I'd really rather not put this all in writing -- just give me a call."  Often times that is for your benefit (sometimes it's because you've screwed something up, and the person is being kind not putting it in writing).  If you get on the call and don't know the answer, find to say "Huh, good question.  Let me think about that and get back to you."   It's really not a big deal, and weird that you are making it a big deal.

If you have individual employees/subordinates that are pests about it, then you need to deal with them.  I had a subordinate that was extremely needy and wanted to check in with me about everything -- it was like a year of coaching about when he should contact me, saving up questions for once a day, not expecting immediate replies, etc.  But that's a management problem, not a policy problem.
