Why do they do this
Most meetings are useless, same for phone calls. I hate both but phone calls are definietely worse. Anyhow.
I'll be e-mailing someone and they be like "this needs to be a phone call" and i'm like "fine" and then they call and it's literally like a 1 minute call with something they could've written in an e-mail like giving me an appointment or asking me two simple questions or something. Why are phone calls even still a thing? Most people dislike them anyways and writing a short e-mail with one or two lines takes a few seconds. Though I admit having to walk all the way to a meeting or pay for a bus back and forth if it's too far to walk to and then the meeting takes 5 minutes is much worse. You feel totally tricked and kind of angry. I don't know if it's because they're bored or something or they just think it's fun to fuck with peoples mental peace.
