Slack picked a weird time to make it easier for bosses to download your private chats

quote [ Under the new rules, Slack customers who pay for certain premium services will be able to download all the data from their workspace–both public and private–apparently without informing members of the community. ]

Watch your chat. Basically what this guy wrote some months ago.

Not your private chats, their employee's work product.

Eh, I guess, though this is more akin to installing a recording device next to the water cooler.

When you speak words with company air, of course they belong to the company!

Seems more like filing the minutes of meetings to me.

Fortunately, my private chats are all about how intelligent, good-looking, and professional my immediate supervisors are.

I didn't know you were self-employed!

I'd always assumed that any communication through a company Slack account would be every bit as accessible to management as a company email account. It seems foolish to have expected it to be otherwise.

Yeah, me too– but seeing that work mail is pretty regulated in concerns of privacy it's interesting to see that this is not happening for chat.

Its an open knowledge that all slack conversations are logged and recoverable at the company where I work.
