I never worked for an organization that used Slack. I had a lot of customers who did. So I’m not particularly familiar with it.
I learned my lesson pretty early in my career when I was slagging on a guy higher up in the food chain with a colleague when he walked around the corner. Oooops! Fortunately, he was a little hard of hearing. If he heard anything, he didn’t acknowledge it, and we got along fine for the rest of my time there. But yeah. Lesson learned.
Phuzz, you beat me to that comment. And you had a funnier follow-up than I would have come up with. I LOVE how clever and interesting the commenters are on this site. As well as the writers.
And welcome to both to Alanis and Murrilee (sorry if I misspelled your name).
I worked with a guy whose last name was Murray, but he often used that as his signature in the non-Slack emails we’d exchange while trying to solve the
world’scustomer’s problem. We’re both retired now, but I think we both kind of miss working. And we stay in touch with personal email accounts.that feeling that you describe getting caught gossiping gives me the awkward shivers!
