Anyone using Slack instead of Lync/Skype? Our team just switched over and it's pretty cool so far, I would recommend it.

OP, do you use it just for IM or do you use it for data sharing? How does this impact client data confidentiality?

like

^Yes. OP, this really needs to pass muster with the client and/or a partner. We (most consulting firms) don't use cloud apps because we can't guarantee the client's data will be protected.

Nice! Many other teams on slack over there?

But to answer - no. I just always hear people rave about it.

Please expand EY OP

@OP are you in the Fed practice? I haven't heard of any firms using it yet but know of some fed offices using it

I'm in commercial. Definitely not a firm-wide thing but everyone on my team had no problem downloading straight from Chrome. It's cut my outlook down tremendously too. Pretty awesome platform

^ Good to know, OP. Will explore this option.

Post-COVID fishies: How long did it take until you felt back to your normal selves? Are you not quite there yet? It’s been just over a month since I tested positive and although the worst symptoms are gone, I’m so tired all the time. Everything exhausts me: laundry, walks (especially in the cold), all the back-to-back zoom calls… I can sleep for 12 hours, it’s insane. Just hoping to hear from others!
