I called my boss, he did not pick up my call. The call was very very urgent as it needed his decision on financials. I called again... and again... and again... he sent me to his voice-mail. Then he returned the call after 1 hr and asked, "Why do you keep calling me when I am with the customer?"
I was annoyed by this question. Firstly, I do not have access to his daily schedule and I do not know what he is doing or who he is meeting everyday! Lastly, when he thinks that the customer he is meeting is important, he should have shut all 'outside holes'.
My reply was, "if you are with a customer, could you please make your phone silent by choosing one of 'Silent mode or meeting mode or switch-off mode'"?
But the boss is always right! He would have a reason to ask me that question he...he... :)
