I have a coworker that does this and they think it’s keeping everything above board but instead they just create openings for opposing councils to second guess and cast doubt on internal processes.
Those kinds of calls are for making determinations and decisions, not airing concerns and greivances for the record.
People’s note taking aren’t always accurate and they aren’t taken under oath. Even when there’s nothing even closely illicit being discussed, it’s not stenography. Best hope you can defend the veracity of your notes in a deposition or before a judge.
All assuming that’s a feature of your job, of course. Otherwise it’s probably entirely irrelevant.
in my case, I almost always get asked this by people who don’t understand 2+2=4 and need me to verbally tell them that 2+2=4 even though two messages in our chat history for the past two days laid out exactly how it is that 2+2=4
but every now and then it’s from a competent person who actually doesn’t want to waste my time
That’s my polite way of saying “what the fuck are you talking about?”
I thought it was lingo for “could we meet and I watch you do the task?”
Or “what you’re asking may be illegal so I’m gonna mention that to you over the phone and not in documents that will come out in discovery“
That’s why any of those quick calls are always followed up by a message that recaps the meeting/has action items.
Go ahead and discuss that item you don’t want in discovery, I’m gonna note it just so I don’t forget what the fuck we were talking about
