That sounds like you have a very top-down organization and they have setup Slack to mirror that dynamic. Slack by itself does not have those restrictions.
Individuals can create Slack Channels (often too many channels). You can setup adhoc groups through DM and can add people to that group . You have the choice when adding people to a chat to block the history or give them full access to the history. At any point you can convert a adhoc group into a Channel and decide if it will be private or public. You can click to start a call or to start a zoom with those present in the group or channel. it's pretty seamless, too.
It sounds like the difference is your organization.
- NikolaNovak 3y agoYes. That is the very first sentence in my post :). A lot of our presumed perspective and experience with tools is actually our experience with organizations and policies. Conversely, majority of issues I've read here with Ms Teams, are not part of my own experience - Teams I use is way easier and more flexible and user friendly than the slack I use. Is it the case that more startups used slack vs more enterprises used teams and that sealed in some stereotype?
- ClimaxGravely 3y agoI wonder about that too. I've used both and personally I consider neither vastly superior to the other or even that much different.
