    @ manolo, I am curious as to what you mean by “overcommunication”. I agree with you that being pestered by someone constantly can become quite a nuisance, however, I would only say that this would extend to coworkers or subordinates. In regards to a project manager, or any other higher up, there cannot be enough communication. Usually, a higher ranking member of a team is far too busy to waste their time sending out unimportant emails, or messages. If a PM is sending out an email regarding a project then the email is definitely worth reading no matter how many are sent. For instance, what if you were working on a very challenging project that was liable to run into many issues. In this case, your PM would need to be communicating with the team consistently to make sure that everyone is up to date otherwise major issues could arise; such as, a team member could be working of an old DDP when there is a new one in place. Therefore, I would be interested to read what you have to say by what “over communication” of a PM means to you. Do you believe that a PM’s emails, and messages are not important in regards to a project, even if multiple emails are sent? Because to me it seems that if a PM is trying to communicate with a team member, or the entire team, it is in regards to a necessary aspect of the project, and is therefore extremely necessary.
