I absolutely hate that WSJ made this an age thing when it didn't need to be, and I absolutely think that if you find programs like Slack overwhelming that's just because no one's told you how to properly set them up.https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-instant-message-generation-gap-1523972835 …

This is ~actually~ the story WSJ should have written, not a tired youngs/olds divide. The hodgepodge is the problem, not the app itself!pic.twitter.com/kPjUi037sp

There's also the issue of expecting people to be Always Instantly Available, which the article also mentions and isn't a generational issue, or at least shouldn't be

that's such a bigger issue that we all need to talk more about. (I like to go offline totally on the weekend, and slack, for me, makes that easier — i can set an away message where i'd never put an out-of-office reply on my email.)
