Slack-a-lack

The art of initiating a Slack conversation with a co-worker, typically based off of a previous conversation with a different co-worker.

I was looking for information on that project, but thankfully Sam Slack-a-lacked it to me.

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 Factor

The ratio of the number of employees in a firm, to the number of Slack channels used by the firm. The higher the Slack Factor, the higher the number of Slack channels per employee, and the lower the possibility of finding that one message you know you just read a minute ago that you needed to respond to.

I just saw a question from Larry, but our Slack Factor is so high, I don't even remember what channel it was in any more. I guess he's not getting an answer.

Slack-Shit

When you intentionally shit your slacks so you can be in your hotel room alone while on a business trip. Its the last option when you run out of excuses to avoid happy hour with open mouth breathers from the conference.

I accidentally had a Slack-Shit so im not going out for drinks after the seminar tonight. Im going to my hotel room and watching southpark.
