...then keep a straight face while your super Agile manager berates you in front of the entire team because you're hard to communicate with, we have Slack for a reason.
Not everyone has the choice to not allow Slack to interrupt you. Some organizations mandate this sort of communication, disruptive though it may be.
Edit: just to clarify, I'm not in this situation :-D. But I've seen it happening.
- ihuman 8y agoThen turn on notifications for when you are @mentioned, or specific important channels. If someone really wants to get your attention, they can. The noise is filtered out and doesn't reach you unless you reach for it.
- cc81 8y agoIf your nature of work is such that you need to be available then I get that your manager would berate you. It might not be what someone likes to do but for some it is better to be available to the team than to isolate themselves and work.
- rbonvall 8y agoI understand the expectation of having the application open on your workstation while you're at the office, but having notifications enables on your personal phone is not sane.
