At work we have an enterprise contract with Slack, but the implementation is really strange.
Before the contract, there were a lot of teams/departments using Slack, so naturally an assortment of team workspaces started to accrue.
Once the enterprise contract came into place, those workspaces were integrated under one company banner so you can sign up with one login and join any company 'workspace'.
This means that if you need to talk to a team in a different workspace, you have to open a new tab in your browser and then join that. This is annoying, and is even worse when 'global' channels were introduced, because ANY notification gets broadcast across all the workspaces you have open.
Even DMs, if someone DMs me my Firefox tab bar lights up red across 5 different tabs.
This is partly an organisational problem in the company, but I think Slack should take some of the blame too to reduce these niggles
