Workplace Tips, Cover Your Ass Bots and Slack Etiquette
The hosts offer advice for millennials dealing with toxic Slack environments, including the use of "response bots" to handle automated workplace communication. They reference the resignation of the Away Luggage CEO as an example of Slack-based workplace abuse. The segment emphasizes the need for "cover your ass" (CYA) strategies in digital offices.
Away Luggage CEO Steph Corey, Slack Workplace Toxicity
The Verge published an exposé on the luggage company "Away," leading to the resignation of CEO Steph Corey over allegations of a "toxic" workplace culture. The report detailed Corey's use of public Slack channels to berate employees, which the hosts argue is a result of a "text-based" culture lacking vocal context. They suggest that millennial employees are being "enslaved" by 24-hour digital communication and "cheap trinkets" like office dogs and free food.
