Voicemail is dead. Please tell everyone so they’ll stop using it. ...
It takes much longer to listen to a message than read it. And voicemail is usually outside of our typical workflow, making it hard to forward or reply to easily. ...
How many times have you called someone back and said “I saw that you called but didn’t listen to the voicemail yet, Is it anything urgent?” ...
Oh, also, if you want me to pick up, don't block your number. Only telemarketers do that.
voicemail is critical for my work. besides, if someone misses my call from my office phone and calls back, they may not ever reach me. the call-back will go to the general firm switchboard. they need to be able to tell the receptionist who they want if they want to get me. which means they should listen to the fucking message.

Why is it critical? Your clients don't have computers?

yeah, some of the older union guys are pretty computer illiterate. also, more than 1/2 of my calls are from union reps in the field. very very few of them have mobile devices that can do email. so they just leave me voice mail messages.
