I have a whole rant about how corporations are bad at manipulating people in this one very specific way. Slack and Teams at a sufficiently large company are effectively small-scale social media networks. And if you want a community online to adopt a social norm, SOP is to provide educational resources on why the change is necessary and then use sockpuppets to model the intended behavior. Some corporations will even plant union busters in their new hire trainings to make it look like your peers are anti-union. So they understand the basic principle. But they just haven’t figured out how to replicate this dynamic on Slack because it’s kinda hard to create convincing sockpuppet coworkers in Slack.
they can, but the company was acquired by a bloodsucking private equity firm that's running the place into the ground. They don't really give a shit about what goes on in slack and the people with admin permissions hate them just as much as everyone else

also they barely give a shit unlike the union busting which is a priority
My company's slack has a locked channel dedicated to shitting on management's idiotic decisions :sicko-yes:
Can admins not see locked channels in slack?
