I don't understand the attitude where it's lazy not to write an email but it's an unreasonable chore to respond to a question on Slack? In mind Slack is preferable to email for many things because the issues are resolved in public and I can later look back on what questions have been asked etc.
- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoFor the simple reason that in my opinion it's never "answering a simple question" but more often than not having a chat, with multiple messages and the expectation of responding quickly. The worst offenders are the ones who don't even ask a question but instead write "Hello?... Dude?... Are you there?..." Just state what you want and this will allow me to answer your question in a more efficient way.
- folmar 5y agoI just choose to no to respond until they come to state what they want. Some are offended but otherwise I'm stuck forever. Teams has it solved much better with a visible "message read" indicator that can be somewhat managed on the reader side, i.e. if you only see the notification it does not count as viewing.
