Just saw an article on LinkedIn that it’s picking up, thought I’d ask.
I hope it picks up . I own a boatload of your stock!
Who?
Workplace. By Facebook.
, used workplace in the past hated it because it’s again Facebook at work - I am tired of overall Facebook , now It will be at work too !!! I use Yammer now - on and off .
Teams all the way!
Nope, Slack FTW
Workplace is a super distracting medium that kills employees’ time, even worse than the blue app itself. Needless to mention hundreds of useless posts appeared in the feed everyday.
I think part of that is FB culture, which is a separate topic all together, but it becomes bearable once you cut out useless groups that don’t have anything to do with the job (looking at you, shitposting@).
Talk to your engineering teammates, and get candid feedback on Workplace. Roughly 4 out of 5 I brought this up to learn about their experience on the platform, it has been negative overall. No one says it is totally a useless platform, but so many issues prevail on Workplace that are counter-productive. That being said, Workplace chat is definitely way better than messenger.
It's nice, it practically killed emails... There are some basics that are missing like more advanced chat capabilities and long announcement posts are really hard to read. Overall it's an improvement, but it still got some way to go.

Googlers entered Sundar’s office in protest and threatened to stay
We just rolled it out. I don’t really get it, to be honest. I’m not really interested in socializing with my coworkers online. We had Yammer before and only a handful of people seemed to use it regularly... I see Workplace being about the same.
It felt overwhelming at first, but I think I’m getting the hang of it now. I do like all the integrations that it’s got with dev tools etc.
