Bitly is just a little over 200 people. I think we are at 250 potentially now globally Oh, wow. That's a chunk and also that is the size where everyone can't really know each other intimately anymore So I'm curious as some just like inside baseball for people who might be trying to use slack or use it more effectively What are some of the agreements that you all have about? like slack hygiene or slack etiquette or like how do you all roll because it sounds like it is effective for you. It's because they've figured some of that stuff outWhat have you seen at belly that's worked? One is the way in which we organize the channels just at a very basic level
Whether your company is fully remote, fully in-person, or somewhere in-between, work in 2023 (and beyond) will require healthy and robust digital ecosystems—because that’s where so much work takes place day in and day out. Still, wanting a first-rate digital-first workplace and having one are two different things—and there’s no one-size-fits-all roadmap to follow. Every team has different needs, so we can expect different journeys. But that doesn’t mean we can’t learn from each other.
In this episode of Brave New Work, Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans reflect on The Ready’s early years (hat tip to Panera for providing O.G. office space), sharing advice and learnings from the growing pains of yesteryear. Then, as part of our partnership with Slack, they sit down with Kelsey Stevenson, Chief Product Officer at Bitly, to talk about how the growing company is evolving its own digital-first workplace and the experiments they’re running to build trust, culture, collaboration—and a very active pets channel in Slack.
