It's the external expectation to respond that I interpreted as "being a team player as measured by always being on Slack".
Being a team player, broadly defined, isn't incompatible with muting Slack or otherwise managing the noise, and that then comes back to the "discipline" idea. If a person don't mute Slack because they "like" the distractions, then they have a discipline problem, if the organisation doesn't let them mute Slack because a "team player" always responds in three seconds or less, they the organisation has a discipline problem.
