the phone call is more convenient as it can be placed from anywhere
And that’s half the problem. My job deals with things that physically exist, and if you can’t be bothered to get your ass in here to actually look at it, I can’t be bothered to deal with whatever your problem of the day is (yes I’m getting bitter about engineers sitting at home telling me “BuT iT wOrKs iN CAD”).
Also, in person conversations are far more effective than phone conversations. Human communication is far more than just purely verbal.

Both my wife and I are fluent in (unfortunately different) sign languages. Fortunately the basics are the same because we end up mostly communicating in classifiers when we sign. But like, the words are maybe a third of what goes into in person communicative.
I’ve upvoted you but it’s different for me. I hate ad hoc calls but have no issue if someone comes over to my desk. Terrible is I’m basically remote full time…
How is a phone call any different from speaking in person?
You’re talking to each other, only the phone call is more convenient as it can be placed from anywhere :-D
