Isn't that more of a feature of the kinds of environments that run Slack vs IRC?

If my office used IRC for communication, I'd still be expected to keep up on all important channels and pings.

My office uses IRC for communication. Actual realtime communication. Announcements and any communication that you need to read at any time other than "now" comes over email lists.
