What platform does your company use for internal comms? Does it work well?

I was struggling to remember what we had before Teams (then realized it was Skype for Business 💀) I sometimes wish we had something more like Slack, more focused on comms than collaboration

We use Slack and I love it. We are a growth from Slack for business so I get your pain. I love Slack and a lot of our partners/vendors use it to so it’s nice to have the outside people I can easily slack with to when we need to get work done.

Wow, awesome you can also reach externals on it. It’s pretty much impossible with our Teams setup (not to mention file sharing..) but I think that’s more my company’s own solution 😛

We use a Microsoft teams at my current company. Used to use Slack at most of my past companies and I absolutely hated it. Slack gave me anxiety but maybe it was just the way people used it .

We are a Microsoft enterprise customer, so we use Teams and all the Microsoft services / products. Teams navigation is funky at times but overall I like it

Same here, all things Microsoft. I just find it hard to get my coworkers to be active in channels, for example, so it never really feels like informal chat.

We use Slack which I love because you separate conversations into channels and the conversations aren't all over the place. The only thing that I dislike is that it doesn't always send me notifications when I have a new message. I have to check the app every couple of hours to make sure I don't miss anything.

I love love love Slack, everything from its emoji reactions to how different it is from Teams. I come from a Teams background and I can’t imagine going back ☠️

Haha honestly it’s the little things

Before we started using Teams, I think that we just used plain old-fashioned emails. I'm happy that that method of communication is gone. It was extremely confusing.

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.
