Many businesses already offer a call-back function where the next available agent just calls you. I’m tired of big tech shoehorning itself into every nook and cranny of life.

I remember evaluating call centre systems probably 12 years ago where I was working at the time and this was becoming a thing - I'm surprised it hasn't become more widespread in that time. I've honestly only interacted with two companies between then and now where this was an option given to me.
