Why calling Thad wastes time
- most issues are not solved over the phone
- phone calls require both people to drop what they are doing
- a lot of calls are just reporting issues
- phone calls waste even more time when a person needs to leave a voicemail
- Thad is not in his office a lot
- Calling Thad, then calling Judy to radio Thad ties you three people and wastes time
Why Google hangouts is a better option
- Hangouts is really fast (~2-3 secs to send a message to Thad's phone)
- Thad get's hangouts messages anywhere in the school on his smartphone and wristwatch
- Hangouts messages tell's who is talking so messages can be as short as I have a problem or come to my room
- It's part of gmail so everyone has it
- Hangouts is simple select, type, send
When to call
- You just need a simple question answered, that can be answered over the phone
- You want to talk about a problem, but don't have time to talk about it face to face
When you need to use Hangouts/email
- Issues that you don't know what's going on
- Issues that you need Thad to bring something to your room
- Something in your room needs to be repaired
