Yeah that's true to an extent. I've also had many occasions where someone asks for an update on x and I respond with a two line email asking a yes/no question and the person just says "let's hop on a quick call" etc. That's so frustrating because they're turning 30 seconds into 30 minutes.
Not the person you're responding to but just needed to vent that. It's been happening a lot lately in my world
I feel you.
Some people just don't have enough to do and setting up "quick chats" makes them feel busy.
