I'm confident enough in my work to not swear, "Hey, can we talk," type messages — but, in a previous role as a technical lead, I had a manager that would occasionally leave one of those large rectangular Post-It notes in the middle of my monitors with, "COME SEE ME ASAP - $BOSS," in sharpie for all to see. Trouble was, not once was it ever anything pressing, imminent, or even in-person worthy.

I'd be lying if it didn't get me unnecessarily anxious that a coworker died on the way in or literally anything worthy of speedwalking before logging in had occurred. His reasoning? He doesn't like the impersonality of leaving digital messages.

Messages in chat too impersonal… better go leave a serial killer ransom note. Manager brain right there.

The serial killer part is actually leaving post-it glue on a screen
