I guess we are in the minority. Slack has been awesome for boosting communication and collaboration in our department. It's effectively killed awful e-mail communication on issues.
Instead, we carry on live, highly-interactive communications. Everyone pretty much understands if you are busy, however, and don't respond immediately.
Work without Slack would be awful.

- DangitBobby 6y agoI have been using chat tools for in-office work for 2 years and more recently at home work for another 2 years. I am well past the honeymoon period for these chat tools, and I quite like them.
- ssharp 6y agoWhen I started at a fully-remote company, where most communications happened on Slack, I was prepared to live with it as a necessity that I simply had to deal with, based on my negative perception of it from places like HN. I actually found it to be a very nice way to keep casual communications open to a remote workforce, while also allowing for actual work communications and collaboration. Now that I'm in another position at a company that is remote due to COVID, I find not having a well-managed Slack workspace a minus and I do feel less connected to the team.
