This is excruciatingly entitled logic from the requester. Do you honestly think your coworkers are all taking leisure time if they don't respond instantly to your requests? Does everyone on your slack exist to answer at your beck and call?
- erikbye 7y agoI am the answerer as much as the requester. Either way, it is not entitled to expect helpfulness from your professional colleagues.
- gowld 7y agoHow do you know whose turn it is to be the helper or the helpee? Do you take shifts? How about pair programming instead of a stream of interrupts?
- whateveracct 7y agoTaking 20-30min to respond is still helpfulness.
- erikbye 7y agoYes, it is. In my OP I specifically mentioned client (app) settings with this in mind. A lot of times taking 20 minutes to answer is perfectly fine.
