Keep conversations, files, and tools organized in channels.

I'm a long-time user, and the recent redesign that merged DMs, Mentions, and Activity into one tab is a mess. It's much harder to find things now. The core functionality is still great, but the UI changes feel like a solution in search of a problem. I wish they would give us an option to go back to the old layout.

Slack has a 'tyranny of the urgent' problem. The constant stream of messages and notifications makes it impossible to do deep work. It encourages a reactive, always-on culture. We're trying to move more of our communication to asynchronous tools like Asana to combat the Slack fatigue.

Slack is the central nervous system of our company. Channels keep conversations organized, and the integration with all our other tools (Jira, GitHub, Google Drive) means we get all our notifications in one place. Huddles are great for quick, informal voice chats. It's expensive, but the productivity gain is real.
