“A New Hire Quit Over Phone Calls?” Comments Also Question the Workplace

One post said a newcomer resigned after resisting work calls. But the discussion did not stop at blaming a generation: when is a call essential, and what does repeated staff turnover tell us?

On October 26, a Ruliweb user said an adjacent department regularly lost new hires and claimed to have heard that one employee quit after insisting on texts or KakaoTalk instead of calling contractors and clients. The writer was not a direct party; this is an unverified account.

The page displayed 35,229 views and 241 recommendations when checked. The discussion drew interest both for the unusual alleged reason for leaving and for the counterquestion: why does this department lose people so often? These are platform counters, not a nationwide poll.

The first strand of replies distinguished urgent calls from less urgent messages: contractors may not read a text promptly, while a phone call can speed up coordination. A second group acknowledged the stress of calling; some said they also dread phone conversations but still call when work is urgent, often preparing what to say first. A third highlighted traceability: confirm calls by email or text, or send a written request before following up by phone. A fourth turned the question toward management, asking why a department reportedly loses newcomers so often. Others still considered refusal to make work calls an unusual reason to leave. These are reactions to a single post, not testimony from the employee.

Work communication has competing needs: speed and a reliable record. Calls can help when immediate answers matter; written follow-ups can document decisions. The debate reveals different expectations about workplace training and when each tool is appropriate.

Verified: the post appeared on October 26, 2026, and the described comments were visible. Not independently verified: whether the employee resigned, the exact cause, company policy or management's responsibility. A comment mentioning 'phone anxiety' is not a clinical diagnosis. Engagement numbers are a point-in-time snapshot.

The company and the former employee have not independently confirmed the account. Any reassessment of the cause or workplace problems would require new evidence. For now, the verifiable story is how commenters brought their own work experiences to the discussion.
