I'm lucky if I remember my name at the end of an email.
My email address is first name initial, full last name.
I rarely send messages to people who don't know me.

Edit: I don't have a direct line at work and don't remember my work extension. Sure as hell aren't putting my personal phone number in an email unless I really want someone to have it.

You’ll soon be able to join a Microsoft Teams call in some Mercedes‑Benz vehicles and use the in-car camera to chat with colleagues while you’re driving.

In one day and then had a few other days similar to this despite the fact that I had a scheduled meeting on the calendar with her coming up.

Post covid people are abusive. With that said my phone is still on my signature. But I remove it in certain situations now. But you can always email me and schedule time, and our internal team can call anytime on teams and my cell is available to them.

I was going to go with drawn and quartered, but it's a kinder/gentler world we live in today.

People without email signatures/contact info usually are terrible at their job

I immediately assume the worst when their reply is blank or includes just their name.

See also the people who say "regards," or "best," twice because it's in their signature and they manually typed it out.

Thanks*
