I'm genuinely not irritated, just incredibly confused. Why haven't you listened to or left any voicemails in the years? Why do you think voicemails are unreasonable? Why don't you see that they're a perfectly reasonable way to communicate important things when someone doesn't answer their phone? What rock are you living under to where you disagree that spam/scam calls are more prevalent than ever? What makes you think that if you think spam/scam calls are more prevalent, that you shouldn't give your number to potential employers? Like how are those things related at all?
I just have more questions with every comment man. Confusion, genuine, heartfelt confusion. Not irritation.
I have no idea where my voicemail is (phone, network provider, webservice etc.), how to turn it in, or how to access it.
I automatically disconnect if I hear a machine, probably because I assume the receiver won't listen to it.
Not unreasonable, just unused and unheard.
Because you can't guarantee that the message will be heard, never mind acted upon.
Not an argument I made.
If you aren't answering because of spam/scam then you aren't answering employment enquiries.
Because they are both calls from unknown numbers.
All of these answers are either nonsensical or based purely on non-standard personal experience.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
