I’ve noticed that this is a spectrum in terms of how people want to be engaged. For folks I interact with regularly I’ve begun asking how they like to be engaged on chat and so far it’s a mixed bag. Sometimes it often depends on the message too. So “Hey, we need to talk” sounds way different from a manager and creates anxiety. Some people just want the full message at once. It’s kind of fascinating but also creates a mental burden for tracking the different preferences of people.
