I would never talk shit about anything at work on a medium that keeps a permanent record. Do people really have that hard a time staying professional?
Of course it’s not wise to talk shit on a company platform, but Slack is hardcore about privacy.
I’m our Slack admin. I cannot see a DM I wasn’t invited to. I cannot even see private channel names that I’m not invited to.
The only way Slack will divulge private posts, or posts in private channels, is if the account owner contacts support and makes a case for why they need to see anything private.
The danger in my mind isn’t someone without access, it’s someone with access taking screenshots and using them against you. That’s why I don’t say anything remotely shitty unless it’s on unrecorded audio.
