I'm considering a new dept policy: no more using Slack to share or review deliverables.

Ideal: discuss live on a call.

Acceptable: use a platform like Dropbox or Box where markup on the document is possible and comments are attached directly to the work instead of floating aimlessly in a sea of chat msgs.

If you worked here, would you love or hate this approach?

What problems do you feel that reviewing over Slack is creating? CD here, new here, title verification pending. I don’t disagree, and I want to understand more.

That’s definitely problematic and you’re right for recognizing the issue. My coaching questions are: what structure can you bring to how feedback is asked for and received? Sounds like you have a good start. My only comment from experience would be don’t create a system for a person problem — if it’s one individual who is abusing slack then it may be easier to address them, but I sounds like your issue is more systemic. Good luck!
