I have a teammate that loves to send messages like "I have a question about xyz, hey @my-handle can you jump on a Zoom call to discuss this?". I freaking hate this! Nobody in the open source can do this!
- thrower123 6y agoI have setup an auto-response for these kinds of requests which is "Describe what it is that you want in an email"
- npsimons 6y agoEmail is perhaps one of the most useful tools, ever, yet so many people just don't use it. Like, they won't even respond, I just don't get it. And forcing someone to put a concept down in words is invaluable. It's like a digital rubber duck.
- schoolornot 6y agoI see this quite a bit. I also see a lot of people waiting around until the next Zoom call to present issues that should and could have been dealt with over Slack/Email when they first arose. I'm not sure if it's a matter of people wanting brownie points for speaking or if there is an intention to avoid owning such issues by blurting about them in a time constrained meeting where there isn't an opportunity to discuss details, impact, and next steps.
