Here's the thing. If it's from someone internal, we have instant messaging if say u want some kind of message instantly. If I get an email, I'm assuming I have time to action it. If I'm not busy, sure, I'll action it right away, but if I am and I see an email come in from someone internal not marked high importance, there's a good chance I'm not even reading it for like 2-3 hours maybe more. I absolutely hate when someone sends an email and a follow up like an hour later. If it's urgent, u need to convey that in some way, shape, or form.
Yeah, screw that. If it's urgent, call me or walk by my desk. I'll read IMs when I get to them. Not breaking up my workflow for every little thing.
Eh I'm remote so going to people's desk isn't an option. IM is the closest thing I've got. Imo since Covid, calling someone without IMing 1st to ask if they're free for a call isn't really kosher at least in our office.
Sure, but don't expect an instant answer to an IM.
