Much of our professional lives take place in the digital space these days, especially on Slack.<br />Unfortunately, some people have gotten too comfortable with the platform and are crossing professional lines. <br />Here are eight of the rudest things you can do on Slack.<br />1. Ignoring a coworker’s “on vacation” or “with my family" status and sending them a non-urgent message.<br />2. Using the @channel or @here feature to unnecessarily notify everyone in a channel.<br />3. Speaking rudely about co-workers. (Screenshots can easily be shared or messages can be mistakenly sent to the wrong chat.).<br />4. Having a direct conversation with someone in a group channel.<br />5. Sending someone multiple messages in a row in a non-emergency.<br />6. Using inappropriate emojis and slang, as well as sloppy grammar and punctuation.<br />7. Discussing NSFW topics or other things you would never say face-to-face.<br />8. Hopping between platforms when you’re communicating with someone.
