Slack employees are slacking 😂

Question

Slack will pause normal business operations for one week on Monday because employees have fallen behind on internal training. The whole Slack team is in disarray, they hate Salesforce.

A whole week?? That's actually hilarious, I'd love to see the business impact of them doing that

I **WISH** my company was as deliberate about training and development as other large companies

I've done some of their Trailhead stuff. Mostly a waste of time and only compounds the pain of using Salesfarce's crappy product. But you can be sure corporate wants to validate their investment. The Slack team is likely used to being held accountable for real results. They've put off the nonsense as long as possible and now the big egos are throwing a tantrum.

This is hilarious. If you haven't gone through any of the Trailhead training, this won't make as much sense to you. From the article: "The goal is for Slack’s employees to reach Trailhead’s Ranger level, a feat that requires roughly 40 hours on the learning platform, whose modules include topics like “Learn about the Fourth Industrial Revolution” and “Healthy Eating.”"

Slack employeese are probably feeling like arbitrary hoops are stupid wastes of time. They might also be bitter about the parent company buyout.
