minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•9 months agoImagine having three independent IM type systems that one is expected to keep on top of at the same time. Ugh. Thankfully, that nightmare is finally over and we are back to one.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•9 months agoI get it but I don’t. If I am on the factory floor and need someone to be where I am the IM is the best way. If I call they could be away from their desk or not in a position to get a phone call. If I email it might not get their attention.
