This isn't necessarily a bad thing. Not sure if there's a name for it but I would consider Slack a productivity hack that actually hurts productivity in the long run. Chat apps are like a quick fix for poor management, which leads to everyone interrupting everyone else due to lack of documentation or escalation paths. The P2P model works but it is wildly inefficient and no one ends up being held accountable. If Slack didn't exist, leaders would have to come up with documentation, rules and processes to shuffle work around, probably much more efficiently.
