What % of your work communication is written/asnyc vs. verbal?

I prefer written communication many times more. Its a document of record that I can refer back to. I can search as a historical archive or a point of reference. Verbal communications are like farts in the wind, as in they are great when you need to make an impression but rarely stick.

Not all written comms are as async as others. Chats, once engaged upon, are expected to flow for example.

I work remotely as a principal engineer. I probably spend up to half my time doing “non-coding.” I have, usually, 2 hours of meetings a day. Throughout the day, I use Slack for small questions, conversations, etc. Anything that requires formal commitment or where I don’t need a same day response goes via email. Some conversations in slack get promoted to video.

I think this can vary greatly from company to company, team to team, and individual to individual. I've had scenarios where it's 90% synchronous and others where it was 90% asynchronous.

Edit: this excludes scrum meetings. On the team I consider 90% asynchronous, the scrums we had were more about ceremony than communication.

I work remote and the company is so small we have one online meeting per week. And one physical meeting per quarter. So 90% or more is written. I moved to a co-working space because I still need the verbal communication for sanity and motivation.
