Corporate isn't getting harder. It's getting noisier.

Corporate isn't getting harder. It's getting noisier. There's a corporate expectation about that nobody talks about. You're expected to remember every conversation, every communication tool. Today, someone responded to my email with a message and fair enough, but before it was even 9:00 AM, I had already responded to several slacks, checked my email, went through our meeting schedule and been in a shared document. That normalized kind of system we're to checking different channels simultaneously. And we have to remember every single answer lives. It's not organization, it's the constant context switching. Corporate is quietly normalized this expectation that if someone tells you anything in any channel, you know it forever. So maybe you're not actually dropping the ball. Maybe your brain is trying to keep up with six different inboxes at once.
