Leadership is looking to limit Slack Channels after an employee started an LBGTQ channel. Has anyone experienced managing these types of "issues" that come up - policing slack to limit groups or clubs communications over slack? Policy surrounding this?

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.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available.

Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
