Slack also has employee statistics tools that rank employees by number of messages sent. I worked at a company where the CEO once shared a slide with the top Slack users and praised them for being engaged. Suddenly, everyone started spamming Slack to get their Slack numbers up. My least favorite technique was the people who pressed enter every few words as an easy way to get more lines. After the CEO publicly praised the top Slack users, I started getting a lot of messages like this: > hey > you there > ?? > quick question > for you > I’ll keep it quick > :) I would some times leave for lunch and come back to over 100 Slack notifications that could have been replaced by a few e-mails, but that wouldn't have earned anyone Slack points. Slack basically became useless after that.
