I guess I'm trying to understand what the modern IT office looks like. I have close to 20 years of experience and used to do things a certain way and accountability - of my own tasks and keeping my boss accountable as well - is high on my list of values.
When I changed jobs I'm now confronted with a new environment where people do things differently, which is totally fair.
But I don't believe working on top of other people's tasks without talking to them first is a good practice. To be honest I think it's quite rude.
That's what prompted me to ask this question. What are people doing? Do you use PR's? Do you commit on other peoples PR's? Do you talk to people? Is everything nowadays that Slack is the norm and talking is overrated?
I guess a "cooking" block would go a long way - at least for me!
