100% the very last paragraph. Why do I have to wait for 78 messages to trickle through for one thought?
To add to that, starting with "hi" and waiting for a reply is a great way to not get a reply from me.
Well guess what
I’m pregnant…
So...
Hi
It depends.
My coworkers write me "hi, do you have 5 min?" without telling me what it is because they know I would drop what I'm doing and directly focus on the new task. (It's how I am, and they know how to deal with it). With a little hi... they give me the option to say "sure, lets talk in 10 min" and finish what I'm doing.
But even "hi do you have 5 minutes" is more than I get from one team. I get "hi" and then they wait for my reply before anything else. If I don't reply right away, nothing, silence.
I get that, but counterpoint is that you don't have to react and reply to each message IMMEDIATELY. The time stamps show that the messages all were within 3 minutes of the start. If this even happened at all.
Maybe it's because I'm old, but text messages don't require an immediate reply. Take a breath and be patient.
Even if I wait, I still have to listen to multiple notifications instead of just 1. Anyone who does this gets left on read for at least an hour from me (often times I just forget entirely).
Patience is a skill that nobody sends to bother teaching their kids anymore. They just hand them a ~~pacifier~~ smart phone to shut them up.
You sound like someone who rarely interacts with young people
