Maybe, but it's not within my power to change the behaviour of dozens or hundreds of other people, none of whom report to me.

So if I join a company where Slack is a shitty experience, I'm going to have a shitty experience with it - even if the company is "holding it wrong"

I work in an organisation that has 9000 employees. I'm working on changing the way we document things. It's hard, but it can be done.
Is part of your thesis that if the company didn't have slack, they'd use their other tools properly?
