    What’s worse, after you “hi” them back, some people (looking at you project managers) just ducking call without any explanation. Drives me nuts

      Reject call.

      ‘why didn’t you answer’

      ‘I’m not available for calls right now’

      ‘why’

      ‘that’s not your business’

      I’ve wandered down this road a few times now.

        Got reported to my manager for doing just that. My rule was simple: if you’re not my boss, I need to know what the call is about in advanced.

          I just explain the same as above.

          If you’re not paying me for my time, you’re not entitled to it, nor an explanation of what I do in my own time.

          If we’re talking about time on the clock, that’s a different story.

      Or I think worse yet, I ask a question, and they don’t reply for a while so then when they do respond all they say is “hi.”

      It infuriates me, I don’t need to be at my desk for you to answer the question I left you above! Ughhh
