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.
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.
“Got a minute?” not until I know why
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.
Yeah they have stupid desktop notifications on

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.
Once I start regularly communicating with someone and they keep doing this “hi” business, I just start replying with this link https://nohello.net/
For most people, typing is much slower than talking.
I forget this
Great link thank you, a whole website for one small idea, love it.
