I don't really get this anecdote, this seems less like someone having a different definition of "no" and more like just ignoring you (which happens all the time, it's hard to listen to everything in a workplace slack)
- causi 3y agoI'm surprised Slack doesn't have a functionality where you can tag something like a sentence or a phrase as "essential" and make everybody else tap a button acknowledging that they've read and understood it. Maybe also with a timer that stops you from tapping it before you can read it.
- eschneider 3y agoAh, but as soon as everything is tagged as "essential", nothing is. :/
- InitialLastName 3y agoThe true engineering fields have a praxis of using actual signatures on designs, documentation, and decisions for exactly this reason: people are more likely to take meaningful responsibility for understanding the subject matter when their signature is permanently engraved on the decision (and there is in fact more meaningful responsibility when you can trace signatures).
