I worked at a company where the CEO shared a chart of the top 10 most active people in company Slack, implying praise for the most active Slack participants. Everyone got the message that more lines in Slack == more visibility with CEO.
From then on, Slack became unusable because people were basically spamming Slack to keep their stats high.
It got to the point where people weren’t even typing full sentences, but instead sending a few words in every line or just posting multiple lines of emojis in response to everything.
