I have 6 yrs of HR exp, a PHR cert & an HRIP cert. I recently left my role as an HR Rep at a tech co b/c I was working 60+/week and the stress of the job was affecting my health. I recently received an offer at a new tech co that is $10k less than what I was previously making with comments from current EEs that this new co has a better WLB. Total comp is still a lot less than my prev company. Is less comp too much of a compromise for better WLB? What have you compromised for a better WLB?

Optically, this is going to be a problem for your company and People function. Locking down your Slack instance quickly following the creation of an LGBT channel will make your leadership team appear to be deeply bigoted. It doesn’t matter whether the concern is warranted.
I would advise your leadership team to let this slide for now, and address the issue in a few months.
Be prepared for other groups to spring up and how does leadership want to respond? For instance, if a group wants to share tenets of their faith, would this be allowed or shut down? I ask bc my org is struggling with this- the religious question has caused a kerfuffle.
This to me says that there is hunger for employee-sponsored resource groups. Instead of shutting it down, how can a program be created to allow for other people groups to come together in a structured space? Could a parent Slack channel be created around employee-sponsored resource groups, then have off-chutes of people groups (LGBTQ, Asian American, Black Community, etc.) This would be a great way to build structure, yet embrace the desire for community at work.
Have everyone acknowledge a doc that they are liable for their slack comms?
