It’s even worse with a boss that micro manages in the new work from home environment my company has switched to. Every 20 minutes there’s a “hey, how’s it going?” I’ve started responding “Trying to work but people won’t stop messaging me” and that seems to keep him at bay for a few hours. It would be one thing if I wasn’t getting my work done but god damn man, I’m coming in ahead of schedule on most projects.
I’m lucky enough that people are cool with me waiting a minute or two to respond. Sometimes I’ll type something in Slack and not send it just so they see the “user is typing” thing, lmao
