i mean that's a bad idea and all but there's about 50 different examples in there of the CEO being a psychopath

E: I mean it's odd that they're confused that their work slack channel for complaining about poo poo was possible a poor idea but if that's your main takeaway instead of "dang this seems like a loving horrible place to work with a strange tyranical boss yelling on slack at weird hours" I worry about you.

Protip. If you want to vent on a slack channel with your work-friends, create a completely separate workspace and invite people to it, also set the channel archiving interval to <24hr's. Seperate workspace means that head of "people services" can't recover your chats, and the archival settings mean even if they do get in, they can't scroll up (also you can kick them out).

Sure, but bitching about work requires something more persistent and available then just a lunch date.

don't use slack provided by your company if you're going to vent about your boss, the whole reason businesses use slack is so they can read every channel and DM without you knowing, if they want.

generally speaking, the question you should always be asking when using ANY text-based mode of communication provided by or associated with your company is "would there be a real problem for me if this showed up in court or was CC'd to a client/my manager?"

poo poo talk is fun, but CYA

y'all do realize that slack export doesn't work this way, right? if you're on a paid plan then people can export public channels, not private ones. private channel/dm export is available but you have to justify it to slack. iirc slackbot tells you if the retention or export settings change as well (but not if an export was done). finally, you can see what the retention rules are for your workspace, go to https://whatever.slack.com/account/workspace-settings#retention to see what they are for your instance.

in the case of away, it's entirely possible that they wanted everyone to use public channels specifically to leverage the 'public channel only' export thing.

If i were an employee being fired for reverse racism in a bizarre corporate sting operation by my perpetually tantrumming CEO, I would simply run all of my account settings by my information security team for ways in which my privacy could be compromised.

Yeah, I'm sure Slack, a company that is losing money, is going to be telling their corporate customers paying them "no" when they request a data export. And Slackbot not telling you about the one thing that's relevant, whether an export has been made, is pretty telling.

If you create your own workspace, your company can't export it at all. Why risk yourself by using your company's workspace to trash people at your company?
