Hi! My company that is mid size around 200 people with an international office does not use email. All communication is done via Slack and am trying to figure out how to stay organize. It gets difficult when trying to look through who said what i.e. what requests are made, where docs live, etc I usually am pretty successful with organization with emails and folders so having trouble adapting. Anyone got tips?
First of all check whether the company is scam or not
Def not a scam hahaa It was a cultural decision they made a few years ago
You work for a 200 people strong barbaric tribe opposing the use of iron because polished stone is faster to produce. Good luck fighting bigger battles.
That's a 1st
Yea. Find a new job
Use slack reminders. Just joined my current company. Same problem, everything is in slack. Emails are only for meetings and announcements it seems. You can also sort the slack channels into folders. And I keep a separate to do list.
I wouldn't be able to handle that
I prefer slack to be honest. You will get used to it soon. Integrations to onenote or a notes app helps with organization. I usually messaged myself all the important things and created to dos
Thanks I’ll try that
Can I get a referral? I don’t care what company this is, I HATE EMAIL. It’s the number one biggest waste of time, energy, effort, induces anxiety, reduces productivity. It’s useless. Honest to FSM- I would drive into the office more days if I could trade for no email. End rant.
Forward all the slack msgs to gmail.
I'm sure they HAVE email they just don't use it.
We do HAVE it, mostly use it for meeting notifications and Jira updates. Outside of that, nothing else
