ORLANDO, Fla. – The current pandemic has changed what being part of the U.S. workforce looks like. These days, it’s a lot of Zoom calls, text messages and -- for millions -- Slack threads.
Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield said he’s seen a surge in simultaneously connected users. He noticed a correlation of people turning to the organizational platform almost just as quickly as the number of coronavirus cases climbed across the nation, he writes on Twitter.
For reference, Slack defines simultaneously connected users as the number of people who are active on Slack at one time. The CEO wrote multiple threads about how the pandemic affected the company in recent weeks.
