It's about the proliferation of slack being treated as the primary mode of communication at many companies now instead of email.
I'd much prefer default asynchronous communication than default real time communication (or some kind of hellish mixture of the two).
- lovich 4y agoToo many people preferred emails. I get several hundred a day because every tool and most coworkers are just constantly giving you updates. Emails been turned into a feed for me and not a 2 way communication channel at most places I’ve worked
- arccy 4y agoat least email has filters, can't do that for slack
- boredtofears 4y agoHow is slack any different in that regard?
- lovich 4y agoHasn’t been around as long for people to break it. I don’t view it as any more than a temporary reprieve and will jump ship the next time a new, less noisy but equally convenient messaging medium comes around
