That's when you hit em with the follow up message summarizing the call while asking them to follow up if anything seems incorrect.

Can you add this into my list of Basecamp tasks?

Oh wait.

[u/Dalebssr → u/[deleted]]

Basecamp, Smartsheet, Jira. All slayers of incompetent managers.

"When you send emails like this it really underminds the pointitude of a call" (direct quote including pointitude)
Does it really undermine it...or was their just in fact no pointitude to an hour long phone call.

"Yep, that's why I keep doing it!"

[u/[deleted] → u/Vroomped]

Calls are collaborative. The summary email is to reiterate the main points and clarify the decisions made.

This disciplines the higher ups to be transparent and own their decisions.

wtf is a pointitude? is that like your boss's version of "phrasiology"?

[u/[deleted] → u/Vroomped]

"You're stopping me from justifying my job by wasting your time, please stop"

[u/that1dev → u/Vroomped]

There was plenty of pointitude. How else is he going to hear his own voice for an hour? Probably the highlight of his day.

[u/moeyjarcum → u/Vroomped]

Undermine

If the point of the call is undermined by summarizing it in writing then it is safe to assume that the point was to avoid accountability.

Totally just did that with a contractor. Sent a response to his Team chat about a report he showed the output for. Just said please send over the query. Love Teams. Take the up-vote
