Leave shorter voicemails.
— My boss’s boss, circa 1995
Earlier in my career, my employer used an old voicemail system (Octel, if you are flashing back with me) that, at the start of a voicemail, would report the time a message was sent and who sent it. Nonetheless, one morning I apparently left a message saying, “Hi, it’s Paul. I hope you had a good weekend. It’s Monday morning at 7, and want to get together this afternoon to talk about <blank>.”
The response I got back was, “1 p.m. in my office. Leave shorter voicemails.”
