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 started a new job a month ago and I hate it! I hate the culture (there is no culture) the way that they communicate (no meetings everything in slack) and the way that they work (alone) It feels pretty much like I am freelancing and I thrive in collaborative environment. I have never felt this isolated in my whole life. It sucks.
Has anyone been in that situation? If I look for another job, should I remove that experience from my linked in? Or should I talk about that if I get interviews?
