'There was the woman who cited a “truly unhinged Slack situation” — dozens of new rooms serving a workflow that seemed only to make sense to the new boss — as one reason she ultimately left her job at a major media company'https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/19/style/slack-replace-email-ipo-listing.html#click=https://t.co/VKCO5GMzkN …

I much prefer Slack for all but major communications. I get why others cling to email. But I think we can all agree the worst place to be is the in-between where half of the office uses email and half uses slack, and then someone's job is to translatehttps://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/19/style/slack-replace-email-ipo-listing.html#click=https://t.co/94gsnnkliq …

Another reason slack is good is because you can see which of the Very Serious And Important journalists you work with <insert your industry here> are secretly goofballs hamming it up in the channel dedicated to punshttps://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/19/style/slack-replace-email-ipo-listing.html#click=https://t.co/94gsnnkliq …

I guess I just don't understand how an email die-hard can look at the "here's where to find the free snacks" Slack Channel in literally every office and still think email is a superior communication toolhttps://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/19/style/slack-replace-email-ipo-listing.html#click=https://t.co/94gsnnkliq …
