I wonder how many of us have independently done something similar at our respective companies during a hack week. I did something nearly exactly the same, except you'd type "resurrect team-member-username". The idea was that you could get old co-workers to come back, though it also worked for active co-workers.
There was a similar disaster story, in that while I was presenting the bot to the company, someone decided to have it generate a message from the then CEO. Unfortunately, the CEO didn't spend much time in Slack, so the only message it could generate was one from a few months prior that was harmless but ended up turning into an embarrassing joke.
Unfortunately, I also happened to be one of the main people who had turned that message into a joke, and it spiraled out of control a bit. So when my bot ended up essentially doing a callback to that with me standing in front of the company, I couldn't help but facepalm. Thankfully he was good natured about the whole thing (again).
