It's the complete opposite when you’re in person. It’s so much more rude as your demanding their immediate attention at a time that suits you. Remote you can manage your notifications and methods of contact which is so much healthier.
- damnesian 3y agoExactly so. In-person interruptions, in the hands of manager who uses physical presense to feel superior, morph into intimidation.
- uxp100 3y agoRather not rehash this discussion, but just a reminder that some people feel exactly opposite. In person disruption is really no big deal for me, but slack is a tool that destroys all productivity.
- helij 3y agoNotifications on Slack can be turned off.
- illiac786 3y agoAnother mental burden to remember to turn off slack notification, and notifications of this other Collab tool whenever I do not want to be interrupted. Also, at least for me, it's not black and white when I need quiet time. I might jot down something, brings another idea and suddenly I have a new idea to fix a problem which has been nagging at me for months and off I go for 10 hours. I won't think about turning off notification until there is one - by then my mental flow has been disturbed. But I do love home office, I just want to outline that managing notifications is not without friction.
- helij 3y agoWhy not make it a default state? My default is all notifications off. I understand that for some people that's not really an option but for most it certainly is.
