I’m not ignoring your message – I’m overwhelmed by the tyranny of being reachable

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

I get asked sometimes when I don't leave a voicemail why I didn't. It's because I don't really care if you call back. I called because of something urgent, but not important. Just text me instead.
this a thousand times. IDK when people decided to not use the voicemail anymore.
But to be honest I make it more radical and not even return all calls. because. priority 1 - call, not answered but with a voicemail
priority 2 - unanswered call but a message sent afterwards.
priority 3 - message only.
an unanswered call on my side and no further information is for me simply to forget about it.
Voicemail is annoying. Please never leave me a voicemail. Just text me.
appearently when people call they do no like to text. because they have no hands free or whatever
so voicemail is the better option than simply be pissed because i never called back.
I tell people I have a 24 hour response window. Barring exceptional circumstances, I'll get back to a message within 24 hours. Often faster, but that's not guaranteed.
Ew, calling? No thanks.
