Personally I dislike getting on calls for stuff. I think the clarity of text is much better, and the fact that it’s asynchronous means I can look things up while responding, meaning my responses are more high quality.
It’s super frustrating being like this and then interacting with people who don’t want to write things out clearly or don’t want to read my responses, and then ask me to “hop on a call”.
I might have limited my career progression briefly when I asked if they had read the document, then called them out on the lie - 'was the 2 paragraph summary at the start not clear'.
I now put the summary in the email body as well, apparently it is easy to miss the heading Summary.
It is, when you are not paying attention, because you are busy with lots of other stuff. So putting the summary in the email seems lile a working pragmatic approach.
It was a lie - they didnt read the document, I was busy is the dog ate my homework level of excuses. If you are taking home 7 figures you should probably brush up on your excuses.
