Its been there since a long time. Nothing to be surprised of, slack explicitly mentions this that in some versions the workspace admins can have access to all types of chats including the DMs.

All enterprise communication apps have this feature

Slack DM’s

Slack DM’s- Grapevine

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Today morning my ceo added me to company's insta group chat, wtf why?? That would be the last thing I wanted. We are a ~90 employees company and most of them follow me on insta now 😭., Should I follow them back?

Something i never wanted coz insta algo recommend my liked post/reels to my followers and this kills the freedom of me liking anything without thinking what if my manager see this meme which is on him 🤣.

Beyond slack

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

It's been almost a month at my new job and among other things, the transition from email to slack for internal conversations has been very very interesting. 

previously everything had to be on email for it to be considered legit, slack was also there but not an official channel. 
now it is slack and only slack, personally prefer this.

[Job Thread] April 2024 👩🏻‍💼

Deloitte is hiring. Ask your enemies to join.

I can’t be be the only one, but I am surrounded by multiple people that just do not believe in async communication. They first send a “hi”, wait for me to acknowledge and then only proceed to tell me what they want. Even if it is something ridiculous like “What is the URL to access this portal?”. 

I generally am very quick with messages and from the last few months, this “hi” business is ticking me off. I decided to do some social experiment and delayed my responses to hi. 

If someone just sends me a “hi”, I schedule a “hi” to 3 hours from then. Result? People would rather sit on blockers than tell me what they want. 

I then tried a decreasing backoff. If you texted me a “hi” once, I’d respond in 3 hours. Repeat it a second time, I’d respond in 4 hours. 5 hours the third time, 6 hours the fourth and so on. 

Results? People would still rather I acknowledge their “hi” than tell me what they want.  

Some anecdotes of how “efficient” communication is:

1. A guy wanted access to a portal that I managed. He pinged me a “hi” every morning for 7 straight days before actually asking me what he wants. 
2. Another person wanted to understand git commands that can be used to solve merge conflicts. But not before pinging “hi” for 4 days, then just pulling me into a call with their manager and their manager pinging me a “hi” when I declined the call. 
3. Another person wanted an update on a ticket I closed 2 years ago. All he wanted was a change request number, which he could find using control + F on the Jira portal. He chose to send “hi”s to multiple team mates of mine when I didn’t respond. 

Ultimately, I started telling people to not just ping and disappear and that they can reach out to me. But I guess old habits die hard and I still receive multiple “hi”s. 

Merko unkin”hi” lag gayi. 

Also, before you scream at me for ranting about such a piddi problem. https://nohello.net/en/ is the thing.

Folks that ping “hi” and disappear

Nothing but a gratitude post for the amazing community of people i got introduced to thanks to this app.

I'm just a 22 yo kid new to all the corporate jargon of savings and investments and taxes and wlb and all of that stuff, and i believe this platform has helped me tremendously to gain knowledge of

- why we should have an emergency fund and how to build it. Really needed a perspective of how it should look like and GV gave me exactly that
- how to manage investments, I've started to earn a bit well recently so definitely a huge ups on the knowledge I got on investments here.
- how to become a better swe. Some amazing folks occasionally drop in some very rare tips, love to learn more and get an insight into how exp folks think and work.

and lots of other stuff such as which startups to be aware of having shite culture, good places to join, occasional memes and everything else.

Terrific product in the making, would love to see it scale even more in coming times.

Now that i have your attention, DMs rolling out when 😀

Thankyou, team Grapevine

Grapevine & DMs

Growth Manager

I've been thinking about how we're always connected to work these days. The line between work and personal time seems to be getting blurrier, with our phones constantly buzzing with work notifications. 

It's becoming a real challenge for many to truly disconnect and maintain a healthy work-life balance. 

I've personally struggled with this - just last week, I found myself answering work emails at on a Saturday, and it made me realize how much it's affecting my downtime.

In an age of constant connectivity, how do you manage work-related communication outside office hours? What boundaries have you or your company set to prevent burnout?

Slack won't let me Slack: How to unplug when your boss is just one ping away?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

no time to deep work. too frequent interruptions

Does anyone else feel half their time goes in just replying to people on Slack?

What do you folks prefer from a communication perspective. 
I've been using Teams extensively but want to know more about folks who've used slack or both....what's your opinion.

Slack vs MS Teams

Slack. Notification

Co workers and colleagues who seem OK to talk and discuss in person turn passive aggressive and boss around on Slack channels.
They use terms like “As discussed multiple times” , “despite mentioning” etc etc and when you talk to them in person everything seems fine and you start wondering why do they push others down in the first place? Is to to show seniors/managers that there’re more superior? 
How do you deal with such people? Any tips ?

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Hello Grapeviners, in this week's update - we squashed a bunch of bugs and added some features (please do update your app? 🥹) 

Here’s three new features we def want to mention: 

More Feeds: 
Now you can browse 4 different feeds from the filter menu on the TOP LEFT of the app:

- Popular (Recommended)
- Recent
- Top of the Week (New)
- Top of the Month (New)

Comment Peaker: 
Many threads on Grapevine get busy with sometimes 25+ comments. Now when replying to comments - the new peak feature helps you see the comment in context as you are replying (so you don't have to relocate the comment you are replying to as you type)

Improved Design for large devices: 
We realized Grapevine kinda sucked on large phone screens. We redesigned and fixed this 

Lastly, Thanks for the constant feedback. Please don’t hesitate to Email, DM or reach out with feedback. We will implement everything we can 🥲
