Does your workplace use Slack? Curious how ubiquitous it is at this point 📊

BLAM, there's my opinion people - behold

I think there are people here who use Slack. I do not.

We almost had a mutiny when we switched from Slack to Teams in 2024.

We still did it—because if there’s one thing you learn quickly when you’re owned by a PE company is if they can save a nickel they’ll do it, employee morale be damned—but I can’t remember an instance where more people openly bitched about a resources change.

Why did everyone prefer Slack?*

Some of it was laziness.

People were accustomed to it and didn’t want to change.

But also, some people had indirectly turned it into a file sharing device and shutting it down eliminated that resource.

because they're millenials?

Between the two, I think mostly that slack is better, but it could be that I've spent the time using it, and the keyboard shortcuts have become life (not sure, does teams have keyboard shortcuts?).

Where teams wins is subthreads. Slack only allows on thread deep, which is awful when everyone here insists on threads. And then those threads become a random mind map and often don't actually map back to what started them.

I much prefer IRC and no threads (and none of this emoji shit), but I'm also #old.

Teams has keyboard shortcuts. It's pretty intuitive and easy to learn/use.

I get annoyed at how certain people use it, but that isn't Teams fault.

teams also has the stink of m365 (even though it may be the best part of that suite)

No...but we're super small. I'm not sure there's a need. We use Asana for project tracking. *
