Here’s another thing you shouldn’t do: Pay someone $150 for a Bad Ass hacky workshop.
How do you know it’s hacky? I’d be curious to hear from anyone who has taken the workshop and what they’ve gotten from it.

At that level they should really know better than to put anything like that in writing.
Moreso, sounds like this 'radical transparency' is a core tenet of their culture, so yeah bitching in the shadows for months on end is counter to that.
I read about the Netflix culture but something like this, how is it practiced in real life? There's a clear power dynamic that doesn't encourage people to vent to the person's face.
I'm skeptical of them practicing this at all in person. And this becomes one of those dumb rules like "blowjobs are illegal" that nobody enforces unless there's a vindictive reason. And 🤬 the snitch. I doubt they did it for altruistic reasons or to save the culture of Netflix.
But yes, I should wipe my laptop like I wiped my Facebook.
SVP: "An insider says an employee stumbled across several months’ worth of these messages and reported it." 🤷🏻♂️
According to the article, their immediate boss defended the employees. Most likely the upper ups that were being talked about got butthurt, vindictive, defensive, and wanted to make an example of the three. Rule by fear. Nothing is as it seems.
And not to mention,everyone should know by now slack is searchable. Even if you’re not part of the convos.
Anything you put in writing on your office computer or phone belongs to your company. You’re not gonna get monitored unless you are flagged fo some reason. IT doesn’t have the manpower. But know that if anyone you work with could turn on you. Only do work at work. Save the gossip for non industry friends or on anonymous boards like this. Treat your computer as though it was an open forum and you will never get burned. Slack is not private. Your internal facebook is not private. Your company text messages are not private. Your email and IMs are all owned by your company.
Depending on your company’s policies, they may have the right to review comms on your personal phone if you use it to access your business emails, Slack, etc., or even if you are on your company’s WiFi. That’s why I always have a separate phone for business. Check your employee handbook or any employment agreements you signed to see if there is policy on this.
Slack is searchable. It’s a feature. Be sloppy, get slapped.
