See, this is DEFINITELY, from my POV, an age thing. My attitude is, if it's a crisis, there's a thing called a PHONE, to call me on. An office phone, or something. Everything else is just distracting NOISE. Alerts and messages at
work? Sure, if you're a trader on the floor...you need alerts on big moves, stock changes, etc. You're a paramedic, you need alerts. An on-call physician.
However, for the average Joe (or Bob, or Fred or Fydor), "pick up a gallon of milk," or "User JohnQPublic just posted THIS on Quora!" is not a crisis. You don't need an alert that your buddy ate BLTs' at lunch, via FB. That's just not-work. It's time away from your gig, unless it's absolutely work-related. And if it is, why isn't it on your computer, where your company put it?
I mean, if a cellphone isn't allowed, what are the alerts, here, that we're talking about, FOR?
Just askin'.
