This is a massive pet peeve of mine, especially in fast-paced startup environments where time is literally money.

I find that not only are these folks avoiding the work of concise written communication, they are also hoping to lean on me to do the actual problem-solving. All too often they open these calls with “So what are your thoughts?”
