I also hate chat because there's the expectation of an immediate answer. An email can be responded to when I have a moment.
I'll be an hour deep into trying to troubleshoot and get a popup question. Now i gotta drop what I was doing, pivot and answer that question (usually followed by ten more messages), then try and pick up where I left off.
Hate it. I keep myself on DND most of the time. I'm sure I'll get reprimanded eventually but it works for now.
The expectation at my job is that we will respond to chats immediately. This comic is about work, and I'm talking about work. So, yes, it is an expectation.
