Benefits Of Slack
- Sales force Acquisition of Slack Does the recent acquisition of Slack by Salesforce mean that Slack employees will receive the same benefits as Salesforce? Example, will Slack update its maternity leave benefit to match the 6 months leave that Salesforce offers? #slack #salesforce #benefits #hr
- Honest question: why do you coast? I’m genuinely curious why some of you prefer to coast rather than go hard on the job. The way I see it, working hard benefits me more than it benefits my employer because of all the skills and networking I pick up along the way that can be used later in life. Obligatory TC (don’t want to get GTFO’

- Banning gifs/memes in Slack and emails? My company’s Legal Dept just issued an edict saying that we can no longer use any potentially copyrighted material for *internal* Slacks or email messages, citing legal risk. Fair use, anyone? The ‘team communication’ use case is clearly not meant to deprive a copyright holder of commercial benefit.

- Management forcing an on-call rotation for the team Currently works in analytics focused program management team. Senior Manager wants to impose a weekend on-call rotation schedule for the team “in case something breaks” Since it’s “rare” that something breaks and “only need to check slack here and there and it’s usually just a quick 30 min fix” he
- How to politely turn down a colleague who wants to “connect”? For me, one of the benefits of #WFH is that it reduced verbal interaction with my colleagues. Apart from the stand ups we do and some meetings here and there, we don’t interact verbally and I really like this. Don’t get me wrong, my colleagues are good people, I just don’t enjoy that verbal interact
