most of my work conversations are with people outside of my company so I look at email a lot

plus it’s easier to print out emails to add to files then texts

Ah that makes sense. At me previous place 99% of my communication was about what I was working on, the many projects I was keeping an eye on, or answering one-off questions about our product or code for developers and other folks.

My bosses always learned pretty quickly there is no point. Just let me do my thing and contact me only when I’ve managed to piss someone off.

MMM THAT FAUX LEATHER
my company just abandoned an effort to switch from Zoom to Teams (just for meetings and conference calls, no way we would try to replace Slack here). It failed spectacularly and everyone hated it in comparison, but ultimately it was that Zoom came back in negotiations with a deal too good to pass up.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

Product development involving multiple teams. It’s usually a nightmare of communication since there are a lot of moving parts and competing priorities. People have tried to come up with whole systems to deal with this, like Agile (lol).

lmao no. It’s like building a house. Try just having one person involved with that. In reality you need to have someone find land that can be built on, someone to buy it, someone to architect it, someone to build the foundation, the walls, do the electricity, wallpaper, paint, windows, plumbing, drywall, roofing, furnishing, on and on. Is imagine doing all that in code that you can’t “see” being built in real time. Software is difficult to fully grasp, even when you’re in it doing a part of the work.

They do have these people called “full stack developers” but that is a total joke. Absolutely jack of all trades, master of none. Not to mention the deadlines on software dev are usually completely stupid, and even if one person could build the whole house it would be faster for multiple people to work on separate parts concurrently.

A request or an email comes in to our queue and we have to hash out who is going to handle it

No, our manager couldn't possibly delegate work, he has no idea what we do or how to do it. From his perspective, work magically gets done. In return, we never have to interact with him.
