dear corporations/orgs:

we millennials are in our late 20s to early 40s, which has given you ample enough time to realize that WE DON'T LIKE GETTING PHONE CALLS. Stop it.

Honestly, the only ones still doing phone calls at this point are boomers. And Tories.

@clacksee LOL, this was actually from my bank. I've trained myself to be calm whenever my boomer mom/relatives call, though!
@CodenameMinaLi
Ugh. I hate that. I moved to a modern bank. They message me whenever there’s an issue. The only people I can’t persuade to stop phoning me are the vet’s office, weirdly.
@clacksee this bank is a decently big one here in the US and yet. they did improve with texting me first with any weird transactions, at least.

@CodenameMinaLi
Ah, I don’t know anything about the US retail banking system.

The UK bank I’m with has only existed for 8 years. All new tech is a good thing.

@clacksee @CodenameMinaLi heh, I initially read this as "every bit of recent technological innovation (across all fields of research) are fabulous" but on double-take I assume you mean "starting up a business without legacy systems to integrate provides benefit"
On topic: I finally got my boomers to use my mobile number, so the landline could go. Little steps!

@calumn @CodenameMinaLi

Yeah, that was poor wording. I meant ‘Having all-new tech (and not being encumbered by legacy systems) is a good thing’ rather than ‘All tech that is new is better than anything that existed before’.
