Serial Serious Replyer I recently got some mild power at work.
Nothing big, just some new responsibilities that have now put me in the targeting reticles of the 
s working from home because now I'm some sort of liason for a small team.
This remote work shit has to stop.
I don't know what part of their culture has taught them that this is acceptable, but they wield the pinging feature on teams with more power than even /r/drama at its most cavalier. I don't think they even know what my job is, they'll ping me simply for existing in (getting forcefully added to) a group chat and ask me to do things that not only do I not have the power to do, but is not even part of my department. Sometimes they'll ping me for something that they're own department should be doing. I haven't talked to any of them in my life. But I can't stop hearing the ping in my headphones, they'll do it at all hours of the night, they'll do it while I'm in other calls.
They'll be a superpower by 2025 solely by pinging the UN until they give them a spot on the security council just to shut them up.
Its actually funny but I genuinely can't comprehend what taught them to behave like this lmao. I want remote work to stop just so they're forced to come over to my desk (if they even know who I am and where I sit) and face me with courage.
