Lord of the Slack : Unexpected Habit

I met with Slack 1 year ago. It came into my life unexpected way, first time I supposed that it’s new enjoyable chatting platform or something like that… I didn’t realise that it will be super useful communication platform I have ever seen.

We started to use with my close friend for just fun and try something new… When I moved new company as Product Manager , we started to use Slack for everything. As a beginning of this using habit we killed our skype, hangouts and of course microsoft lync :)

Just in couple of months , we started to ignore our company mails furthermore we started to insist our thirdparty company and our stakeholders to use slack as a different channel. Day by day — because of our action- we started to use slack for official mail, notification and even schedule meeting :)

Finally , Slack changed our communication habits rapidly, everyday we are receiving tremendous amount of notification and message from a lots of different channel. Nowadays ı can easily say that ; yes we decreased our email traffic significantly but now we have slack traffic issues…

As a sum of my story , donno what we gonna do about this issues… But I need to say that slack was new and innocent at the beginning of that but its unexpected habit already started… Maybe after 2 years later, we will start to talk about “No Slack, Yes Email”.

Frankly, I started to miss my emails :)
