| None of these will: - "replace email" - "increase productivity" - "centralize communication" None of them. Not a damn one. I've worked at over 20 startups, there has never been a single case where any of these claims are true. They purchase one of these damn chat clients, and it becomes the biggest timesink the entire organization has every. single. time. But, you know what? You can't get rid of it. Everyone has it. Nobody wants to change off of it. So what do they do? Introduce other methods of communication through other apps. So no. It doesn't reduce it. If anything it increases the noise. Also, you think you make the right choice in the beginning. It seems great, your 7-50 people organization works fine. Wait until it's over 300 people, 1000 people. It becomes an absolute nightmare. Slack is probably the worst for 1000 people organizations. It was horrible at 150, then at 300 you start seeing people fight each other over rooms. |
