Since then, there have been different methods of office communication. Some choose Skype, Facebook, and, more recently, WhatsApp groups - which can get pretty intrusive if you get spammed with random information.
While emails, like other forms of communication, are quick to send, it gets pretty difficult to read a sender's tone in an email - no matter how hard you try.
