Post-Traumatic Slack Disorder (PTSD)
A chronic condition caused by repeated incidents of Slack Shaming, excessive @channel pings, or being publicly corrected in front of your digital peers. Symptoms include fear of typing in any channel, cold sweats before hitting "send," overuse of drafts, and the haunting sound of the Slack notification plink in your nightmares.

Slack Shaming
The digital walk of shame that occurs when a well-intentioned Slack message lands in the wrong channel, triggering a swarm of passive-aggressive emojis, thread derailments, and a 10-minute debate about “channel etiquette.” Often followed by a link to the workspace guidelines you definitely didn’t read.
