Nah, nothing can save a work culture when it utilizes Slack for anything. I have been on both sides of the relationship in the Slack-based work society. It always ends up yielding the same outcome, no matter if I am a manager, an individual contributor, or even an outside contractor.
There are always going to be a couple of people in your unit who run the show, who make all the animated GIF posts, to make all the slackbots that don't do anything. They always use Slack to gain undue notoriety within their firm. Slack caters to these people because these people tend to have the controls over the purse.
It's a terrible thing to do to a business, to force Slack upon them. You cannot blame Slack for making this dang product, but you sure can blame the people who consume & purchase the service without even once thinking about the well-being of the employees.
