Oh I don’t even open my work email. That has a 100% ignore rate. If it’s not important enough to Slack or talk to me about it doesn’t exist.

I meant for my real email.

As for my manager taking steps to help me improve that, he’s even worse. Or just has a stronger things-that-are-important filter than I do for Slack. Email is for papertrailing things that were previously agreed upon in person or on slack.

If your work email is not worth reading, you have a communications problem at your company.

The problem is not 'Slack' or 'Email' - it's the wasted communications energy at all these companies.

Most companies have not figured this out, and think that tech will solve if for them. Not so much.

Often the "communications problem" is that people have low reading comprehension, and cannot type.
