I loooove slack. I only use email for calendar invites pretty much now. Can’t imagine how anyone could work on a remote team without it (or similar tool). As I tell my coworkers and clients..”if it’s not on slack, you won’t hear back”.

Don’t you go Slacking off now. Hahahaha.

Okay Dad

But why is not the stock moving up?

The free functionality is good enough for small and mid-size companies, and large companies opt for platforms that integrate better with their other tools (i.e. Microsoft Teams), so Slack has no real customer base

We use it

Slack is awesome!
