Dumb move... They'll be back...
I didn't have voicemail from August through last Friday. (Our entire system went FUBAR and had to be replaced.) It was a pain in the ass... I couldn't cold call suppliers and give them my direct line because I might not be at my desk when they called back. The poor front office girl had to handle 10 times the usual phone traffic the last few months just so everyone wouldn't be glued to their desk. Business by cell phone? Hell naw! Then I'll be getting calls at all hours. Obviously, some folks like sales and service people work better with cells. I'm engineering tooling. If something goes wrong we'll talk about it on Monday.

Coke taste like Pepsi with a cigarette in it...... If you're going to drink liquid sugar it should taste sweeter like pepsi

Good. Email me.
I can't tell you what a waste of time voicemails are. |

The expectation is that without voice mail, employees will have one less thing to check in on. Many had already expressed a preference for doing away with it, the company said. What year is this? They don't have Unified Messaging? Both Avaya and Cisco have had this forever. My voicemails show up as .wav file attachments to emails, in my normal Exchange mailbox. I haven't used my desk phone to check voicemails in years. That said, I'd be ticked pink if we ditched it. Two less servers for me to maintain.

Don't need voicemail when you're tethered 24/7 by an electronic leash. |

Our rather large company ditched voice mail for just about everyone.
First they outsourced it. Then they just flat out did away with it. "Cost savings".
Guess what's up next for "cost savings".

Given that they're downtown Atlanta with a LOT of tele-commuters and heavy, heavy users of MS Lync I'm not surprised. Coke has its IT shit together but is somewhat a sweat-shop.

But man, there are still a lot of old school dudes (read: Baby Boomers who should retire) mucking shit up for me.
I'm trying to get them acclimated to the new and fun shit... |

I have been cell phone only for the last 8 years....no office phone since I work from home. I have noticed a big reduction in voice mails over the last 2-3 years. Email level has stayed about the same. I do text more with customers than I have done in the past.
