The interruptions are often no better with remote. Unless you completely disable Slack notifications, you'll be subject to annoying DMs and unnecessary @heres,

  Again, that's a company and process problem. No one in my company does anything like that, thank goodness. Though I'm sure others do. If we get '@here'd it's an actual fix-it-now production problem. Then again, my soft-phone, and cell would also be ringing like crazy as well.

    Another problem: people using Slack as an email replacement. 30 lines? Send an email.

    >. No one in my company does anything like that, thank goodness. Though I'm sure others do. on the contrary, I have yet to work at a company that had proper up to date documented systems and processes. It's always suggested to ask a co-worker or a producer and get answers that way. Of course, we're professionals so I've never heard of the cases where someone is pinging someone 10 times a day for micro-questions. There's a hierarhy you should try to follow before pinging someone specifically, and for larger questions you should rearrange a meeting time, ideally 1+ days in advance. But we also acknowledge that there's tons of tribal knowledge in the company and industry as a whole that you can't simply Google. So you shouldn't treat asking questions as something to discourage.
