Group chat as the primary method of communication
Group chat as the main method of communication leads to:
- Mental fatigue and exhaustion. Group chat feels like an all-day meeting with no agenda.
- An ASAP culture. Everything must happen now!
- Fear of missing out or not having a say. If you don't pay attention all the time, you might lose out.
- Thinking a line at a time instead of complete thoughts at a time. People can jump in before you can fully present yourself.
- Implied consensus because "we talked about it in the chat room."
- Knee-jerk responses. You only have a small window to make your point before the writing scrolls away.
- Lack of context.
