‘I am done being the family's unofficial secretary’: Woman deemed ‘communicator’ of family group chat misses aunt's medical emergency due to work, entire group chat tries to guilt her into staying in the chat

We are in the digital age: Constantly reachable, surveilled, and heard from every person in and out of our lives. The little mini computer in your pocket is to blame, and for better or for worse, we can't live without them.

The world has transformed in such a way that it forces us to need technology, and in the same vein, forces us to believe we need to constantly update everyone we know about what we're doing at any given moment. If you're in any group chats with friends or family, you know how annoying it might be to clock out of work and see 100+ unread text messages (and more that keep coming) because you know something went down. Reading through the sea of memes that make your group chat mates go "so me!" and the slightly self-involved anecdote of the day from your unemployed friend might make you go a little stir crazy. If you can't unplug, then leave the dang group chat!

The woman in this next story finally puts her foot down after she misses the news of a medical emergency her aunt had, after being dubbed the "family communicator" of important events. What does that even mean? Anyway, she decides to choose peace (and radio silence). Scroll below to read about the fallout.
