Vent post here: Why the heck do people Slack me when it’s obvious that there’s an OOO message on my Slack status? It makes no gd sense. I’m way past the rat race of working while I’m on vacay. I’m not solving world hunger. Your unimportant request can wait a few weeks. I refuse to answer. Plus, I left a clear POC in my status. The least someone can do is acknowledge that they’re pinging me while I’m on vacay. I probablh still wouldn’t respond, but it would make me feel less aggressive when I get back. Some people just have no self awareness…
Just because they ping you doesn’t mean you have to respond. And that’s not self awareness, that’s just sending a message to you to see when you get back
Agree with this. When I message someone on IM when they are offline, I don't expect an immediate response. It is up to them when they want to respond.
Do you know chats and emails are async??
Yes this.. Why they shouldn't? Just because OP on vacay doesn't mean everyone is.. Just turn off the notification and respond once back.. what's hard about it?
Yeah as others have said there is no expectation you respond. Just read them when you get back
You are too sensitive
Probably
At least you can admit to it. Turn off notifications. People will always do dumb shit. It's up to you to filter them out.
I ping people knowing they are ooo so I don’t forget. Normally I’ll put a note explicitly saying don’t respond or read as I see they are ooo…
Promote yourself to customer asap.
Slack has a delayed message option that should be taught to everyone on their first day
huh? set to ignore when you are OOO. nobody looks at the damn status. obviously
Ignore it all. It is pretty simple
Why can’t you turn off the slack notifications 🤔🤔
