Usually this happens when I am bored or blocked at work or I am in a meeting where there is nothing for me to say or do 90% of the time.
Slack creates a culture that is built around response time but often topics on slack are low urgency and of little long term value.
Heavy use of slack requires people to be around synchronously and inevitably people will be blocked on others. This is inefficient.
Daily stand-ups are a similar routine that provides not much value in terms of unblocking people.
I greatly look forward to tech companies who prefer written documentation (eg, Notion) over Slack.
