this is a corpo reminder to ask your coworkers "when are you available for a call about x"

give all information and context possible

do not say "hi" and then immediately call when you get a reply

also if you are scheduling calls do not schedule them the second after or before lunch

also not everything needs a call !

give people time to reset FFS

    Also, just Teams me the question and I will answer it and move on. I really do not want to talk.

    sadly managers do not take this answer, I've tried many times and I've been upfront

    I found it more productive to let them know etiquette for calling, random cold calls are extremely annoying, disrupts my work, resets my context by switching to a new one. Not only that but I don't have your answers now so why do you call now and expect answers to questions I have zero context of ?
