I’ll take your Slack if you take my Basecamp.

Eh, it’s a lot easier to ignore a slack message than someone physically coming to you to ask a question they probably could have figured out on their own

Legit question. Would you prefer a bombardment of emails? While I don’t love PM tools like Slack or Basecamp... just because of the inherent nature of humans not being great at communicating, I prefer it over email. Email is virtually impossible to search later down the line for nuggets of info, no way to organize attachments in meaningful ways, etc

OP you can turn off the Slack notifications

I’ve heard unemployment if fun. You’ll have plenty of time to page and email people, while swapping thumbdrives and laserdisks.

I also think, as with any tool, it also depends on how the group uses it. I’ve been at a shop that uses Basecamp the last few years. Seen many teams transition. Some people “get it” and it makes things nice and organized. Some folks don’t, and things go to shit

I still get a barrage of emails. And texts. The only thing Slack does is make my phone ding more

No way. I love Slack and would rather have it than a bazillion emails.

Hi everyone.
Just reached final on-site round for a Senior Manager position in the logistics department. Role is for Amazon UK. Recruiter is asking me now for my expected compensation (base salary + total comp) via email. Any idea what to aim for?

I don’t know the level but was aiming £80k base, +15% bonus. If I don’t fall under their budget, would I automatically be removed from candidates?
Any tips are appreciated!

Amazing how time can change your perspective, because 10 years ago I never thought I’d be here.
