[quote=Anonymous]Please, those of us with REAL anxiety know the “Hey, do you have a minute for a quick call?” IM is a thousand times worse than the phone ringing out of the blue. The forewarning gives you time to fully play out the worse case scenario of getting fired and having to live in a van down by the river! Anyway - old job - once I was settled in and reasonably senior, I vastly preferred no notice from my colleagues/boss/client. If I didn’t know the answer, it was fine to say “let me get back to you by XYZ.” New job - I work with many more random people, and we’re all in different time zones and in open offices, so a notice, typically with a topic, is standard. The most annoying was the boss who just left a VM saying “Hey, this is Larlo, call me back.” But I also had a good enough relationship with that boss to joke with him about how those messages really just made me go into “van by a river” mode…which only encouraged him to do it 😂 [/quote]
