Slack Status Best Practices

Updated over 5 months ago

Context: Please use the Slack statuses below during your scheduled task blocks to promote coverage visibility across the team.

Please also include the end date and time for lunches and breaks. This will let your teammates and managers know when you’ll be back online. For example, if you are taking your lunch at 4:30 pm PST, set the end time of your status to 5:30 pm PST.
