    I actually would prefer to be contacted on teams instead of email…

    I’m copied on EVERYTHING, my inbox is utterly useless

      Yeah I’ve effectively given up on email at this point. Just Teams me. And don’t say “hey”. Say what the fuck you want.

        I believe this is the same people that will respond “not now, I’m in a meeting”. I know you’re in a meeting. It’s called asynchronous communication. I can message you whenever I want, and you can read and reply whenever you want. The messages won’t go away.

        Or even worse “I have not arrived at the office yet”. Then don’t fucking read teams.

            Completely missed my point.

            Asynchronous communication means that I send you a message whenever I want and you respond whenever you want.

            If I wanted to talk in the moment I would walk to your office or call you.

            Messaging makes no sense if I have to remember every message I want to send and send them when the receiver is available. That’s not how it works.

            It’s the receiver’s responsibility to read that message when they have to.

        There are people in my org that always start with a “Hi” and then send each sentence as a new message. Very irritating.

          They’ll always wait for me to respond before telling me whatever issue they’re having….Just out with it in the first message.
