        So you’re having to monitor four different sources of communication?

        Just gouge your eyes out with a mellon baller at that point.

          Why? if it works for them, why does it matter?

          The whole point of IT is to support the other departments, not hamstring them to make our jobs easier. If they want to use that stuff, so be it.

      I dislike slack more than anyone I know. Awful tool that’s nearly impossible to use well at any scale.

      But if you’re seeing gendered pronoun slack bot text (ex. one about avoiding using “guys”) those were added by someone at your org.

      I was at such an org.

      I was at another where slackbot and the ability for anyone to modify it was completely disabled.

      Didn’t make slack any better though.

      Imagine leadership that gives a shit about what their employees choose to use and support them in that.
