Comment on Slack is not for me

Comments

While this may be great for him, this is probably counter-productive for the org -- and he's preparing to be left out of a lot of decisions and conversation.

I've been in an org where there were stragglers who didn't want to use Slack for whatever reason -- "I'm too old" for it was one I found particularly retarded.

Communication is key -- get your whole team on one tool - silence notifications if you have to, but you should aim to participate.

... he's preparing to be left out of a lot of decisions ...

I struggle to see how substantive decisions can be made legitimately through group chat. How do you facilitate decision making such that it allows people to prepare and participate?

It depends on the org and I guess how substantive you're referring to, but there are a lot of small decisions that get made this way and those add up.
