I love Slack but it’s been disappointing as a business and as a service.

1. No new features.
2. Video chat quality has never been improved.
3. Comes with app integrations but they don’t generate revenue.
4. have to keep the software cheap in order to be competitivite.
5. Can’t even stand out as a WFH stock.

would like to get some insight from Blinders who work at Slack? How are you guys doing? CEO sucks I guess?

Edit: now I use Teams at a new company. Slack is serisouly behind.

    As someone who uses Slack a lot, I love Slack.

    Seems like you are mixing up Slack the product with the company’s stock

    I've never understood why everyone loves Slack so much. Lack of read notifications makes it useless for me

      Agree. I think read notifs violate privacy. I don't want you to know when I checked my Slack. Could be 3am, could be 7am, none of your business.

      I don’t get why people want that feature. It’s seriously creepy and control freakish. So what someone read your message? What do you intend to do with that information? If you’re not engaging, find other ways to engage - by calling them (you know, picking up the phone) or meet them in person. The “read” notification is really only useful if you want to complain, and that’s not productive anyway.

    I mean it's a built product. What would you like to see on there?

    Zoom and Slack should merge for a higher value Prop to compete with Teams.

      The only reason teams is so popular is because it comes with certain office365 subscriptions. I agree they need to add more value like zoom + slack

    Slack the company and the product are as good as it can get. Not much more room for improvement.

    Selling to Amazon might be what’s best for Slack now.
