I work in a shop in manufacturing and frequently need to email and/or teams message someone for information but there's absolutely times I'm not even gonna bother and will just go right up to an engineer or draftsman's desk with schematics to talk and work through stuff. Or I'll just call them and ask them to look at something / talk. Is this not acceptable? Idk, if so I'm still gonna keep doing it, I really don't care. I hate the back and forth waiting around bullshit of emails. Really the only time I email is if I need to involve multiple parties or I'll teams message if it's a quick question.

There's really something valuable about talking about things in real time and looking at what we're working on and how it's designed and what the solution should be. Having a weird "let's keep everything digital" attitude is prob one of my pet peeves tbh. I really don't care if someone isn't social, I wouldn't judge them if they're socially awkward. I would judge them if they won't even give me the time of day or act like it's a chore to have a work related conversation. Human beings are a social animal, no sense in shutting everyone out all day
