I don't even know why we talk with other people in companies anymore. We can't send emails because people don't read them. So we are drowning in calls where we include the whole team where we talk about our weekends for 5 minutes at the start and spend half talking about what could have been a email. So on top we have bots that do these summaries so people can be sitting on calls only paying half attention to then not read the summaries anyway.
I will spend part or my Monday setting up 2 meetings to follow up people who didn’t answer the message I sent them last week. I need a simple data from one, and a 2 minute task from the other.
This is a company I joined 3 years ago, and was baffled in the first weeks how nobody answers their emails, not even IT. So I started sending MS Teams messages like others, and that worked well so far, but now they also seem to have lost efficiency.
Work would be easier if everybody just respected others enough to answer their messages. We don’t need to be best friends, just pls everybody do your job…
Edit: even better, if I didn’t have to chase people for simple data and giving acces rights to a bunch of non-confidential shit that is gatekeeped like trade secrets
