What if you can't run slack because your company doesn't allow chat services that are externally hosted?
EDIT: This seems like something that never gets brought up in any discussion of Slack. No company I have worked for would have allowed an externally hosted chat service. Have I just been unlucky, or is it just the people in my situation never speak up?
- icelancer 11y agoUnlucky. We used Slack at the last three companies I worked for.
- danielsamuels 11y agoYou can't be a very loyal employee given that Slack has been out for less than 2 years.
- icelancer 11y agoI'm not. I'm a consultant.
- spotman 11y agoLots of enterprise companies demand full control over all things. Its not uncommon at all.
- steveklabnik 11y agoIt's not uncommon, but it's uncommon around here.
- emergentcypher 11y agoIt's certainly one of my major griefs with Slack. I don't want my entire company's internal communications to be hosted by some third party startup I can't at all trust.
- zaargy 11y agoI would say this traditionally case but I think things are slowly changing even in the Enterprise world, where they too are starting to realise it's not realistic to be good at everything as well as their employees demanding better services.
