My boss recently mandated that all internal communication had to be public in our team Slack channel for “transparency.” No DMs, no side convos. Just the main channel.
Fine.
So when I needed to remind him for the third time that he was holding up the product launch because he hadn’t approved the ad copy, I tagged him publicly:
“@Boss Just checking in on ad copy approval, blocking final handoff. Third follow-up :)”
When he didn’t respond, I posted again later that day:
“Following up here. Client is getting frustrated. Still waiting on you!”
Other team members chimed in saying they were also waiting on him for other tasks.
Within a day, the channel turned into a full audit trail of his dropped balls.
Next week? Quiet policy change: “Please DM me directly for approvals.”
