I felt bad as well but I don't anymore. At this point if you want a prompt response and you choose email that's on you. Specially if we're 10-20 steps from each other in the office.

Exactly. We work in-office 2x/week, and we're an open plan office. If it can wait a couple days, I'll be in anyway, so why send an email?

We have Slack channels for announcements for various groups, and in-person for anything that needs a response right now. Email is almost never the right medium.
