    The way you handle async communication seems like a personality trait.

    I got colleges who simply cannot discuss any complex problems over Slack and will always abort the chat and say "can we do it in a video meet or at the office?"

    Personally I hear I'm good at discussing complex work issues over chat.

    But if I'm busy I might see a message and think "I'll look it up later and give a full reply" but then forget it. When I should give a quick reply saying "I'll look it up later"

    I'm also petty bad at handling personal messages - if I get something during a work meeting I think I'll handle it later and end up forgetting it.

    @jiraTicket our job is very time sensitive, so it's not an option to sit on a text

    @jiraTicket you should create a Jira ticket to review all the pending messages and to-dos

    @asgs we deal with data for monitoring and control of the operation. if there's a power outage somewhere in the country, we deal with the communication, damage control, that sort of stuff

    Drives me nuts when colleagues try to have discussions through email instead of Teams/Slack or a call
