It’s for the same bullshit reason that any difference in preferred communication style is always won by the person who responds to an email or text with a phone call. Buddy, if I actually wanted to talk, I would’ve called. It’s not my fault you have the reading ability of a drunk 5 year old.
A life hack is that you don't have to answer what I would perseive as an aggressive phone call. Stand you ground and keep the communication in you preferred way.
You’re not wrong at all, but when it happens at work telling them to stop is tricky depending on where they are in the hierarchy.
I always just ask people to email what they just said so it's in writing, so it's clear, and I have all the details, and it's on my to do list. Make me look like I'm detail oriented, like I want to please them and do it exactly how they want.
