> Whenever we will message on slack asking a question, they would respond 10-15 mins later almost 90% of the time.

in fairness tough, i do that too sometimes, but it's because i'm in the middle of something and i don't want to lose the focus.

when i see the slack notification if it's not about an outage or something similar, i try to finish the thing i'm doing (or at least reach a state where i can commit to git) and then reply.

and by the way, remote work should exploit asynchronicity. forcing people to always reply within 15 seconds is going to burn them out (and would do the same in an office)
