How do pms/managers deal with slacks left and right? How do you get work done? TC: 130k YOE 1.5
Do not disturb mode
On my team, we have focus blocks where we try not to schedule meetings or bother coworkers with unnecessary messages. Maybe have a discussion about team norms with your team?
Turn computer off and go for walk
Mute and I also am offline always; don’t feel the need to react and respond immediately, let go!
Thats the energy I want to have! I check slack constantly and have an urge to respond
Messages are meant to be async - you are not expected to reply immediately except during incidents.
love this mentality
Lol. PMs and managers do not do any work
don’t answer unless absolutely necessary
With slack I never have to be bored or focus on 1 thing for too long

Quitting this Slave life
Yea have it on mute, but have an urge to check it all the time and respond
At least at my company, I’ve learned that you don’t need to be a slave to slack. No one’s gonna care if you respond 45 minutes after. My company gives a lot of flexibility, quite a lot more than that honestly. This is true especially if it’s a global team. However long it takes tenured employees (who don’t suck) to respond - you should (probably) be fine adopting that.
