Why are new hires allowed to make bots on a company Slack server. Take away their privileges. Problem solved.
- SpicyLemonZest 5y agoWell, why not? People deciding to code Slack bots on their own initiative has done a lot of good for us, and the problem was easily solved in both cases by removing the slack bots and (I've heard secondhand) a short private conversation about it. If we ever get to a point where leaders aren't willing to push back against a "guys" bot, presumably anyone who wants to build one would be able to get through whatever approval process could be put in place.
