I leave notes as I thought Texting messages can take some people a long time to find out so I leave notes where They usually go so If they come here, They'll find it.

I usually leave messages for my boss. When he's busy, I leave messages on chat platforms. If he doesn't respond in 1 or 2 days, I call him.
