I don't get it. Do people open up slack, and then sit there, staring at Slack? Sitting in a group chat, looking at everything that happens, reading everything that happens? I'm honestly curious. Do you watch other people get work done? Maybe in yours, people just chat about weird things all the time?
I just don't get it. Slack just sits there in the dock, and I don't need to keep the window open to have it remain useful. Maybe someone can shed some light on how "Group chat is like being in an all-day meeting?" I honestly don't get it.
- Tempest1981 8y agoI think it's a voyeuristic tendency of some people to watch other people work. You can join a few dozen Slack channels, and peek in on them constantly, similar to twitter or reddit. Maybe a desire to find drama? Vs focus on your own "boring" problem. The funny thing is, it can make you feel productive!
- jasonlotito 8y agoIf that's true, then it's in no way Slack that is the problem. I can't help but think there has to be something more.
