[quote=Anonymous]My boss does not do this, but our work in very independent and requires a lot of tedious research/writing, so there’s not a lot of spontaneous collaboration and sudden phone calls can break your concentration or momentum getting through something complicated. So I appreciate that my boss is pretty good about IM-ing and asking me for a good time to chat instead of just calling.

99% of the time I’ll drop what I’m doing and say I can chat then. But on occasion I’ll be about to pop into a training, or I’m on a tight deadline to get someone an answer on something, so I may say “I need to get X to so and so, are you free in half an hour.”

Even in my personal life I prefer people texting first vs. just calling. I’m pretty extroverted, but getting interrupted when you’re in the middle of something can be annoying. Also it’s helpful when the person lets you know in advance what they want to chat about so you can have whatever document you need open, or think up any questions you want to ask as well vs. just talking about something on the fly.
