I turned off Slack notifications entirely. Nothing bad happened.

I have turned off all Slack notifications, which hasn't caused any issues with my coworkers or manager, who don't seem to notice that I'm not responding quickly enough. As an Engineering Manager at Zapier, I prioritize focused work and find that notifications are a distraction, making it harder for me to concentrate. By disabling notifications, I can give my full attention to tasks, respond more thoughtfully, and help amplify the idea of trust among team members. While some might worry about being available 24/7, most issues can be handled asynchronously, and automating tasks has helped me maintain productivity.
