What's up with all those "bring your whole self to work" mantras?
Anyway, you ain't gonna stop people from discussing whatever they want over lunch, why is it any different over messaging systems (other than there being a "paper" trail)?
I guess what you want is to hire people who simply know better than to bring these in general, public channels, but banning is totally weird.
- alexb_ 4y agoThe reason it's different is the same reason that every flame war on the internet starts - over text, you don't have any social cues, facial expressions, tone of voice, etc to fill in the context. So your brain will fill in the gaps, usually using the worst interpretation possible. It's the road rage effect.
- necovek 4y agoThat much is definitely true. Nothing beats a bit of real or at least video contact.
