In an effort to save costs the company is looking at all tools. Since slack costs us 245k per year it is seriously being looked at since we already have teams. Plus slack was only designed for small teams and it is nothing but unmanageable noise at this point. Anyone else working on this? What will the Stain do now? I guess he’ll go back to load testing our email system with worthless emails saying thanks or more meetings that could have been an email.

Slack is used by Buoy team mostly.
1olc - not sure if you heard but the company is dying and is desperate for cash. Doesn’t matter what the reviews for the tool were ...240k is 240k . That’s what counts. Especially for a company dying and with no future. They need to make their cash last as long as possible.
Also. We banked on an “pro” installer model......not only are people not leaving their houses, they don’t want strangers in their house. This will push what left of this company over the edge.
I hear Slack is sticking around. It's the highest reviewed tool we have.
In my group we tried using Teams about a month ago to see if it'd be better and it's not even useable.
SQN also went away. We were spending millions $$$ like drunken sailors. These solutions and platforms are not cheap
Noooo what will the newly promoted director do to prove their worth now? Delivering real value???
The constant 3 top slackers that constantly slowed down the whole organization :
Mike the stain, midget Michael Jordan , fleshligth, those are truly people who screwed the rezi and helped themselves to fat bonuses while bringing lay-off with gusto . They are barely supervisor level but extremely good sales people - for themselves
Yea, I agree. The more people added to it he more useless and unusable it is. Add people like the stain and the blgr contingent talking for the sake of talking and you have more noise than collaboration. We all know one person wanted it (moobs) and since we was surrounded by the ultimate group of yes men it was implemented. Why the clueless cio let this happen is beyond me.
Still can’t believe they were checking who posted and based layoffs and promos on that. No wonder moobs and his team was a colossal failure....ever hear of delivering something?

Thanks for sharing, and very insightful post. You are spot on. Slack is a non-essential, discretionary tool and HUGE expense, especially since you already have Teams (which is much more tightly integrated with O-365)
