I want to ensure that communication is effective and doesn't interrupt deep focus. If you feel that I am communicating with you too frequently or about irrelevant topics, please let me know directly, and I'll take that into account for future communications.
Regarding email, I usually respond three times per day: in the morning before standup, midday before or after lunch, and in the evening before leaving (except on Fridays). If I use "reply-all," I expect someone in the "To:" field to respond unless the issue has already been addressed. It's okay to respond to these emails just to say who the best person is to answer the question. Everyone in the CC field is there to follow along, so please only move people to BCC after clearly announcing it in the email thread.
For chat, I'm generally signed in but will turn off notifications when on a call with someone or concentrating deeply. I believe in off-topic chat to build relationships and strengthen the organization's culture, so please invite
