“You’ll be in more slack channels designed for this same thing after AD1 then you’ll want to be. Relax and enjoy your time before you start, there will be plenty of time to drink the kool aid!”
“I like to make seasonal themes to share with my team, and I thought you might enjoy them too! 🍂 I find it easiest to copy the list into a chat with myself, then try each theme until I find a favorite.”
“I have a load of channels muted, some fully muted inc mentions. All my direct reports and some execs I have as VIPs so they notify at all times. The rest just falls into the standard working hours notification that's on Slack by default.”
“Honestly - change your own workflow. If notifications are an issue then turn them off. It’s not their slack etiquette that’s the problem it’s that you feel like you have to answer them and prioritise their work.”
“Are you having them sign into any other applications like Outlook on their mobile device before signing into Slack? Sometimes signing into a different application will force the MAM policies to their device.”
“An org I just started working for sent my email address and I vote to join their workspace. When I click the invite it opens up to slack and then shows only one workspace connected to my email address and it's not the one that invited me. It's one from many years ago that I don't even access anymore.”
“Think about what data actually lives in Slack versus what passes through it. Persistent sensitive data stored in pinned messages or channel bookmarks is a different problem than transient data that appears once in a message thread.”
“The Slack integration is great. I can create Issues from Slack and get notifications of Issue state changes from Slack but it’s not entirely in Slack which I appreciate. We have too much to keep track of to depend on channels and threads being the organization method.”
“It feels like Slack but I can activate apps, plugins and multiple bots in one prompt. I have multiple bots work in a specific cadence in specific channels.”
“I don't know if Slack or Teams is winning, just that Jabber won't beat Teams at its own game.Thankfully we use Slack where I work. The cross-org channels are cool.”
“The OFFICIAL Microsoft advice is to use Private Browsing in separate browsers...Meanwhile on Slack I can just hit cmd-number and swap between clients. AND we can have shared channels over instances, like $vendor having a support channel on our Slack with their actual people with their own accounts.[0] If you have M365 anyway.”
“Is there a team who revokes slack access manually for rifed people? Or its automated? Because according to slowness of oracle portals I’ve doubt that they are capable of automating it….”
“The subscription boundary is the interesting bit, but how are Slack retries and duplicate events handled? If the worker has already started and the event is delivered again, an idempotency key like `slack_event_id` needs to prevent a second agent session.”
“The most frustrating thing was losing the entire Slack history, which was a good reference to have around when figuring out problems which others may have run into previously.”
“Let's say I get a slack message from a coworker asking for some developer passwords. If he is outside of my team, I am to ignore him unless my manager instructs me before hand to do so.”
“Try to stick to talking with them in public Slack channels so there's an open paper trail. It makes further escalation easier, and after you've escalated enough they'll relent and be easier in the future.”
“Ship a read-only triage brief first: alert summary, relevant Datadog monitors, last deploys to the service, likely repo, and an evidence pack a human can skim in two minutes.”
