Setting aside the organizational issues here… I'm in about 15 different Slack, with 15 different credentials. Authentication is a miserable problem, yet Slack

  Ugh, that sounds awful. I've maxed out at 4, but I only belong to Slack channels for customers that I work with. I had taken this as a huge plus in my circumstances -- having them separated in their own space per organization allowed me to decide what set of rules I use for replying very quickly vs. when I get a Round Tuit, but that's a very small problem to fix if I had to manage credentials for 15 channels!

  It's amazing to me that Slack has been operating this long with such a backwards concept of Organization > User hierarchy. After Apple fixed their portal a few years ago, Slack is the only tool I have left that requires this multiple credentials. It's also frustrating that every time a user leaves an organization, my entire chat history with them is deleted as well.

Well now that is just incredibly broken - for organizations without a strong culture of documentation, chat/email histories are vital. To just loose conversations sounds painful.

That may be a setting in the organization or something that your Slack admins are doing? I'm able to look up DM history with former employees in our Slack, their account is just tagged as having been deactived.
