Then in your next performance review you get dinged as "not responsive", "not a team player". Trying to work in peace is a in instant loss nowadays, just play the visibility performative game as all the quickly promoted people in office do. Why do you think your management cares about getting things done? If they did they would reward it.

This has not been my experience at least at the more remote-friendly places I worked. However, I can see this at companies with different culture / pace / attitude.

My most recent role the entire company of ~200 was remote, and so there was rarely the expectation of immediacy in a response. If something was truly urgent you'd be paged.

I have to agree — in general, most people have a good sense of what's urgent or not and with a few kind nudges, they align quickly.
