Yeah, in your scenario it seems like the manager should have that thing muted. If he's on a heated conversation he'll get the pings. If he's participating then it's his problem. Seems like the more appropriate thing would have been for you all to jump on a phone call, but I'm not invested in that.
I think I have some Slack PTSD from messages that come out of the blue:
message 1: hi
message 2: where do u
message 3: think the blubber bee API is failing
message 4: when I get 404
<eom>
I respond with a question and then don't hear back for 10 or 30 minutes. Screw this noise.
What you said seems reasonable. But the context of the article was the initiation. My bad for lumping your scenario in with the above BS.
