What previously was a tap on the shoulder is now a message and a tap on the shoulder after three minutes if there is no reply.

Slack has become the worst possible amalgamation of email and telephone. When previously minor things were discussed asynchronously over mail, only major and immediate issues warranted a phone call. Now all kinds of noncritical correspondence gets pushed to an instant messenger application, where every issue has to be paid attention to immediately.

Do people really do that? Did the same ones not tap on shoulder a short while after sending an email too?
