Is There No Way to Automatically Record Phone Calls Anymore?
Is There No Way to Automatically Record Phone Calls Anymore?
I'm still using an old phone (LG G7 ThinQ), and their Phone app has a built-in recording.
If I wanted to use another phone app (or when I upgrade phones), I would lose this feature. And I have looked (albeit not too much) and found that there's no way to record phone calls unless you root or it has to be built-in on the phone like some Samsung or Xiaomi phones.
asking to transition the conversation to email or just start with email. Calls for me have been simply dumbed down to nothing other than informal conversation. If I have some try to talk to me about professional things, then i ask for an email, and I will email them back. Also, ask for any documentation by email because anything they say to me is on deaf ears unless there an email that can be sent with it. I have given up on phone calling. It is just nothing more than an annoyance for me. Text me or email me. Calling me is useless.
This is the kind of thing I would be reporting to management. Emailing back and forth for a week to fix an issue we can fix over the phone in 3 minutes is a massive waste of company time.
If it is an issue that can be fixed in 3 minutes, then I don't see how that is turning into multiple emails over a span of weeks. Also, most people are not being paid enough to be on call out of work, and I would rather not have a phone call off the clock. I never got reported to management. In fact, more trouble seems to happen from these phone calls where I have to just remember what was said instead of reading an email for when I misremember a task or crucial step.

Very easily. People are lazy to respond. Your responses fall into the fucking aether that is in their inbox. They send you back a useless reply and then wait several hours or days to respond. The opportunities are endless.

I don't understand what that has to do with this conversation. It might sound crazy but you can actually call people while you're at work.

Or you can just do it while you're on the phone?
They're not the right communication method for every conversation. But refusing them outright is also the wrong choice for every situation.
Sorry but coworkers and businesses refusing phone calls makes me fucking irate.
Except I have no control over what shows up in my inbox, and its inherently disorganized. Same goes for many others I'm sure. We should have moved away from email 10 years ago.
