Using Slack asynchronously (or rather, using only private messages synchronously), these complaints are totally alien to me. Seeing Slack called "Facebook for work" doesn't feel inflammatory, it feels bizarre. I suspect synchronous culture would change things quite a bit. I've certainly never had the sense that "hey, do this when you can, no rush" meant anything but what it says. Of course, some of this seems to be about configuration approaches. I had forgotten that Slack's dock icon embeds notifications, because my dock minimizes when not in use.
