Now spontaneous calls have been replaced with slack messages, often with the expectation (and I'm guilty of this too) that the recipient will drop everything and reply. At least with a phone call, if they didn't answer you know they are bust. Personally, I'd prefer a call to at least 50% of slack messages - any time a back and forth is required that could be addressed in a 30 second call but instead takes a slack chat spanning 10 min where you can't really do anything else because of the distraction. I've tried to encourage people to phone me, including leaving my phone number is my slack status and asking people to consider phoning, but it wasnt really successful
