"what you need" is a very rude way to say that.


He's on Tigerdroppings venting about a topic. I doubt he sends "what you need?" to people.

"Sorry I missed your call. I'm available on X day if you'd like to schedule a time to chat. What should I come prepared to discuss?

Feel free to shoot me an email if the matter is more pressing."


There are some things that absolutely need to be a [scheduled] phone call because they are lengthy to discuss, but there's also some things that do not need to be an entire phone call wasting both people's time.

For work, I am not picking up an unexpected call. Look at my calendar, send an invite.

The idiots have no idea if I'm on a call about a proposal, talking to a customer, DIAF. There are four free hours tomorrow afternoon between 10-2, just send me an invite. Don't call me, don't leave me a voicemail.

All of that would be apparent if they'd bothered to try to look at my calendar.

I actually have heard that from several people. I'm sure some high functioning people have been taught that by coaches but I have heard it said and I think it's rude sounding.
