> engulfs the worker inside a dead-eyed grunt culture, featuring an endless spree of work-life balance destroyers. It might be great for people who ask for things from others, but for the people who have to actually do the thing being asked of them, Slack is a nightmare world. I think it depends on the organization and how you use it. In a previous role I would’ve agreed with you. People expected you to reply at all…
There are always going to be a couple of people in your unit who run the show, who make all the animated GIF posts, to make all the slackbots that don't do anything. They always use Slack to gain undue notoriety within their firm. Slack caters to these people because these people tend to have the controls over the purse.
It's a terrible thing to do to a business, to force Slack upon them. You cannot blame Slack for making this dang product, but you sure can blame the people who consume & purchase the service without even once thinking about the well-being of the employees.
