Phenomenal, very cool. Publicly announcing the arrival of everyone in Slack seems a little gross if for instance someone has special circumstances which require them to come in later that may not need to be public information. Or could potentially brood that weird competitive mindset of "I'm the best because I show up at 7:30 when everyone else comes in at 9-9:15, even though I may not be the most skilled". It is definitely fair to say that this stuff being a problem is indicative of something deeper in the office culture anyway, though.
Other than that I love this and 10/10 would pay for it on a monthly basis.
- Waterluvian 10y agoThat's always my fear about one day working for a big company. I'm not a good drone. I'm probably the most firable person if you look at me on metrics alone.
- vogt 10y agoI work for a company of ~120 people who are owned by a fairly giant company (I think ~5000 but could be way off, I forget) and we don't treat people that way. You really have to work hard to vet the environment you're going into as an employee, but it pays unlimited dividends when you get it right. It has taken me several times now.
