My agency is about to introduce slack, but they want to hear from us first. I never had any experience with it. While I mostly see this with good eyes, I also heard about enabling micromanaging and disrespect of your boundaries.

Wondering what your experience with it is?

Slack is amazing. What are you using now?

like

I love slack. One of the biggest things we’ve learned is to keep anything related to a job in that specific job channel. No passing info/feedback in DMs unless it’s something private. It’s hard to keep up when project info is shared in a mix of emails, DMs, job channels, and face to face meetings.

I love it. It’s less formal than email so it makes communication faster.

Some people have complained about the constant slack dings being distracting but you can always snooze your notifications.

Slack is fun

It's no more boundary-breakinf than email, text or having Hangouts on your phone if you're on Google at work. The only frustrating thing I found with slack is the AMOUNT of communication going on because it's so easy to just type in one or two word messages, so it's a lot of junk to review. That said if you use all of its features like organizing channels replying to posts to keep creeds together etc., it is great because you can load and link all kinds of stuff in there for posterity.

Love Slack. I disable notifications so I don’t get distracted. Just go on it when I’m available.

Slack is great for day to day stuff. I’m more used to it than emailing, and I’m only 25yrs old.

Love Slack. It's necessary to have messaging platform. Any of them could turn into micromanaging to be fair at this point.

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. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

I need advice about Zoom. Is it easier to have a zoom link with your personal Id or a simple generated one? I want to connect my Zoom link in my clever portal, but for some reason the generated one doesn’t work, but I’m afraid if I switch anything it will mess up the flow. Any experts do we have advice?

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.
