Amidst mass layoffs the US govt allows companies to hire Visa Workers without proving they first tried hiring US workers
I’m trying to logically reason why our company is using Google chat instead of Slack (not at chevron anymore). Can anyone enlighten me? Is it cost?
None over slack!
You get it free with g-suite. Tell your company to buy the salesforce CRM/Slack bundle. Assuming y’all use salesforce
It's cost. Look on the bright side: your could have Hotmail instead of Gmail and be stuck with Teams
Its cheap
Slack is better. Google chat is "free" if you already have Gsuite.
Ah thanks everyone! Makes sense. My company is just cheap
I miss Teams
Never used slack. What makes it better than gChat?
Better support for rooms, conversation threads. Significantly better bot integrations.
Threading in context Reply in line with comments Inclusive emojis Syncing with outlook or zoom Google drives Overall user interface and UX Ability to set reminders for specific messages Similar experience on PC or Mobile Ability to operate different workspaces under one account ( vendors , personal etc) Search results accuracy Files and links are tagged to user accounts so they are easy to reference Tagging keywords across all rooms if you’re addressing specific bugs Integration with bots and services GIF selection options and task flow A dark mode that actually works…. There’s more, but that’s all I can think of for the moment. It’s not just slack, hipchat or MS Lync are better than gChat in overall functionality and usability.
Cheaper?
