I’ll go one farther - unless it’s my doc, my wife, or my boss, I’m neither answering the call nor listening to the voicemail. That’s what easily skimmable voicemail transcription is for…
I don’t love the privacy implications of transcribed voicemail, ofc, but it’s better for my own privacy/threat model than answering the phone to robots, scammers, and etc. It’s also a hell of a lot better for my mental health, vs listening to them.
That’s OK, I didn’t have any desire to work for that asshole anyway…
Most folks are exponentially more productive when they don’t have to waste hours of their day (stressfully) driving/public transit from A to B just to do their job.
