If you want the same thing but for the remainder of your life, get a bird. Parrots are basically flying mischievous toddlers with beam cutters on their faces that never grow out of the toddler mentality.
You call it procrastination. I call it automation. If the work is done on its own, the boss doesn't need to know about that, as long as I'm submitting time reports regularly.
I'd say phone calls are the normalized issue. It's a wild concept that I can just immediately go and bother any person I know a phone number of and demand they respond immediately.
I get that back when the real time voice calls were the only option, barring the actual paper mail, it would be more tolerable. But now we have so many alternatives, surely we can normalize using communication methods that suit the situation.
Just because it's normalized doesn't mean it should be. Several decades ago it used to be perfectly normal and polite to smoke in restaurants next to strangers.
Just because making calls is one of the functions of the device in my hands doesn't mean it's its primary function.
If you disagree with the take that unplanned phone calls without an emergency are invasive, imagine this comment is a phone call and you need to answer as soon as I post it, otherwise I'll be quite upset with you not responding.
