dude, there is a big difference between volunteer IRC teams, and coworkers who aren't able to communicate well.

- saurik 11y agoI have absolutely no idea what you are trying to say by that... I can only guess you are trying to claim that I only have experience dealing with "volunteer IRC teams" by my argument; but in fact I tend to spend most of my time talking with the small number of people whom I have as employees, and I spent quite a bit of time working in a consulting company. There is something fundamentally broken about either the employee or the company if they find themselves trying to do something and it is not acceptable for them to wait until the correct resource is available. This same employee is going to do tons of dumb things as they time out on external events (support tickets, vendor fixes, financing, approval, etc.). If you just can't see how "everyone needs to be available at all times to be interrupted from the task they have to help someone else with a task they have or that task is going to get done in some dumb way without you" is absolutely not a sign of "coworkers who are able to communicate well" then I guess I'm glad I don't work with you at your company :(.
- dvanduzer 11y agoI mean, the article is misunderstanding asynchronous but urgent communication. But it's about Slack, and my comments are geared toward learning the communication habits of a team. If Slack is interrupting your work, then you are using Slack wrong. Period.
