I answer my work phone and so does my team because we're adults and work. Screening calls and making arbitrary rules that you won't answer the phone unless you know them is batsht crazy. Hopefully you're self employed. If you work for somebody and you're ignoring work calls that's madness to me.

Hilarious. Not answering calls I don't recognize has zero impact on my ability to work and do my job. I'm not in sales, I don't report to clients. Anyone who has anything of importance to discuss or an existing relationship with me is smart enough to leave a message or send an email if I miss their call or ignore it for a multitude of reasons. (In a meeting, on a call, working on an issue, taking a sh1t, etc.)
We are in the era of email and Microsoft Teams. The volume of Actual relevant calls I receive is about 25%.
But feel free to pass further judgement.
