@CD1 Slack feels easier and more intuitive to chat one to many, Skype feels built for, and limited to, one to one. Email ain't chat. It also makes cross-office connections wayyy more serendipitous.

Slack is great if it isn't abused. Too many people waste too much time in interest groups. And as a creative, account management has the nasty habit of going to me directly vs. communicating through my PM so my work load is often doubled.

like

We do! Though not sure if Ogilvy as a whole has a license or just my team

We use Jabber. It's dog shit.

Slack is so much different than instant messenger apps though. Its more like a series of chat rooms, like AIM in the early 2000s!

We are trying to get it going. We use Skype for Business/Lynch for IM

We don't - still on Skype for Business, but I'd like to see us switch to Slack someday.

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?
