Yeah, until she applies for a job and the recruiter tried to call her to offer an interview.
For me the most annoying part of voicemail is navigating through the menu. But I'm also not scared of taking to people on the phone so perhaps my opinion doesn't count here.
Good luck to her when she wants to start being taken seriously.
lol, only production matters child, once you are ready to become a Worker™, then you you will be required to use voicemail
I work with engineers in an industry where not having a written exchange of info to refer to and/or CYA is unthinkable. I got my latest company phone 17 months ago and have not set up the voicemail yet.
Only production matters, so why use something slow, inefficient, that also does not provide an automatic written record to cover your ass.
If you call me with a request to do work or give me important information, I will tell you to text or email that to me.
I agree many meetings should be emails. But when meetings happen, generally someone takes minutes and notes down actions so, that covers that base I suppose. Secondly, if I'm your employer, or your client, and I call you with a request, or a job, then it's probably in your best interest to get it done. Sure, a follow up email is sometimes warranted, but not always. People who refuse to use the phone to communicate verbally are only disadvantaging themselves.
