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

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

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.
