I guess for me it depends on whether the team lead is more of a peer or more of a supervisor. If the team is all senior people, then I&#x27;d agree, they should be more careful about interrupting and honoring the headphone convention.<p>But if the other person is more junior, or a direct report, or just joined the company, then I personally feel more responsibility to give a prompt answer and prioritize the other person&#x27;s productivity over my own.
