Just curious, how does being in a Slack channel feel more like being controlled than being in an office?

The project we were working on required all members to be available to answer questions from other team members right away and this happened a lot, so you couldn't just wander off and do something else around the house or your absence would be immediately noticeable. At the office it was easy to disappear into the bathroom for awhile or take a nap in the sick room or head down to the food court in the basement of the building.
