The idea that a business with hundreds of employees can be run entirely through public Slack is shockingly stupid.
Sorry for the harsh words, but this demonstrates complete incompetence and zero business experience from Steph Korey all the way to the investors.
Away is clearly yet another terrible company that would have died long ago if not for VC life support.
- fastball 7y agoGitLab runs most of their company through literally public git repos. Exception that makes the rule perhaps, but I think you might be being a bit hyperbolic.

And no, I am not being hyperbolic. Did you read the article? Employees at Away are banned from using everything above. No private Slack channels. No email. Only public Slack. I challenge you to name a successful company where that is the policy.
