Voice Mail; ooops I deleted you!

I know I’m not the only one disgusted with the new corporate trend of shutting out people with voice mail. What’s up with hiding behind your voice mail avoiding the masses with a mere click of the erase button?
Will the insanity ever stop? What’s next? Will we soon have to go to our favorite fast food establishment and “voice mail” our orders? It is so frustrating having to deal with the “recorded message” and “please leave your message after the beep”. However the most egregious insult is “I will get back to you” . Why say that and take the time to add that to your message if you know for a fact you are going to visit your cubical daily and quickly scan your inbox hoping not to have to actually answer any of your messages? Go ahead corporate America hide behind “oops I hit the erase button” or “oh, I didn’t get that message” . Then we wonder why all our jobs are outsourced. The growing pattern of closed ears in the workplace is appalling. You know its bad enough getting disrespected by a person in this world but to be shunned , ignored and made to feel insignificant by a machine, where will it all end???

yes i will agree on the voice mail issues seems ppl aren't real, right along with the voice mail is the answering service that uses a somewhat human voice and you listen to this list of opptions and then make your choice it is like being sent to a room to sit and wait and then go to another room only to find they have sent you to the basement to talk to the janitor and he is not in.
