Overall Satisfaction with Slack

I love Slack! Whether remote office or not, it's a great way to quickly send not just messages, but also notes and files. I send notes to myself, and I store files here. There's a robust ping system, so I can turn on and off pings, or select to allow some to ping my phone right away, versus others alert me but not urgently. Similarly, it's easy to level up channels, so serious, can't-miss channels send more alerts than, say, a water cooler channel that I can afford to lose. It keeps my life organized and on track!

Pros

  • Channel differentation
  • Layers of pings
  • Ease of sharing files

Cons

  • Weird bug where google calendar pings don't disappear
  • Sharing files
  • Siphoning out importance of conversations and which ones I have to pay attention to
  • Easy systems to get stuff edited, alert managers when work is done, etc.
This app constantly improves! I love how they have added features recently like huddles, which is way more lightweight than scheduling a Zoom.
  • Google Hangouts (Classic)
Way more features on Slack than Google Hangouts!
