How many unread emails are currently sitting in your inbox? What about those voicemails waiting on your office phone, or those DMs on Slack, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook...you get the point. There are so many ways to communicate with people these days, and when you merge communication technology with business, things can go a little haywire. On today's show, Liz and Larry talk about email horror stories and life before computers at work. Then Molly Fischer, Senior Editor at New York Magazine's The Cut, joins us to talk about how Slack and instant messaging is changing the contemporary office — and not entirely for the better. And we help some listeners, too! Celia's company wants her to promote their business on her LinkedIn on a weekly basis, while Raven's boss can't send a clear email to save his life. And a listener's still anxious about some angry Slack messages that showed up during a company presentation.
