It is the only thing reliably using 10-20% of my laptop's CPU, while idle. Having the Slack iOS app even open drops my battery at least 10%/hour. Even Facebook's app or using a mapping app, actively listening to the GPS birds, don't do that. My employer dictates the choice of communications tool. I don't just get to "pick another service entirely." EDIT: And their site's 2FA (which I'm required to use, because $work) also reliably gives me "too many login failures" on the first login attempt, so using it in a browser tab is a non-starter, even without also losing desktop notifications. With the amount of money they've been given, both by VC and by customers (I know what we pay them per month, and although we're not a small company, we're far from their biggest customer), this quality of software and service is absurd.
