Slack Separation Anxiety

The anxious feeling you get when you should be working and online but are in fact not actively working, namely that someone might be trying to reach you via Slack and you will be unable to respond to them or provide what they need in that moment. Which, of course, will immediately get you fired.

Common symptoms: Ghost phone vibration, thinking you heard a slack ping, etc

I have Slack Separation Anxiety so I don't stray too far from my laptop during the day.

Circle of Slack

When many users mute a channel on Slack to avoid useless notifications, but the authors have noticed. So they post on others channels to make sure those users received the notifications. In the long run, those others channels will also endup being muted, since they now throw useless notifications.

Each iteration of this circle increase the number of channels the authors need to post to and the number of muted channels by the users.

- "People only post memes in #news"
- "I know, I muted that channel."
- "Me too, but they realized it! Now they post in #news, #global and #admin to be sure we see them."
- "Oh no, I'll mute those too."

- "It's the circle, the circle of slack" 🎵🦁👑🎵

slack spreading

conscious or unconscious employee habit (usually a dude) of replying outside of a slack thread to make sure one's message is read by the entire channel audience resulting in a waste of everyone's time

woke up to massive slack spreading from our infosec director, put me in a bad mood for the rest of the day
