It's curious how some people still prefer verbal communication over written messages nowadays. Okay, that's perfectly fine when you need to solve something fast. A quick 5-minute call can be faster than an email chain. But having calls for everything is simply not practical and not productive. Sometimes you just send a message, and that's the end of the story. And if the quick 5-minute call takes a month to happen… Then it's not an efficient 5-minute call. The call itself became the obstacle rather than the solution. And more importantly, if you know you're not going to make it, the least you can do is send the information in writing so your colleague can continue working.

By the way, the manager took too long to step in. As a manager, he should have confronted the coworker earlier, not because of a personality clash between colleagues, but because this recurring pattern was clearly affecting the entire workflow.

In the end, the employee probably made the right decision by leaving her job. She documented everything and kept her manager informed, but still, she received no retribution or help from his side.
