The very first working phone call in my life caused difficult feelings. On the one hand, it was pretty cool - I spoke to the Americans from Microsoft as an equal team member, they listened to me, and it raised my self-esteem. On the other hand, I had a strange feeling - we talked for four hours, and in fact did not learn or say anything new. Wasted a lot of time.
I thought - well, okay, this probably does not always happen. Since then, 5 years have passed, I changed jobs more than once, but everywhere and always phoning was a waste of time.
You guys work in IT, and you know very well how gigantic part of our job is to call. I knew too. My average working day contained a couple of hours of this chatter, and it became unbearable. I started to get nervous - I probably won't be able to work normally as a developer if the stupid calls made me so nervous.

If my design work ends, and I have to work again in a corporation that lobbies phone calls - I simply will not do a damn thing, not a thing, I will never do there. I will remove all IDEs from my computer, put in a bunch of slacks, and immerse myself in “work”. If they need a dialer, they'll get one.
