Shortly after the outages began, the Slack status page posted a notice about the situation. Slack confirmed to users they were reviewing the problem; however, it still remains unknown what caused these temporary outages.
By the time early Tuesday afternoon rolled around, issues with Slack appeared to decrease.
The future of business
Remote work, freelancing, and other forms of employment that are “non-traditional” are very much the future of business. Already, some companies are beginning to incorporate the use of artificial intelligence.
The rise of artificial intelligence has introduced questions about whether some workers will get automated out of employment; however, proponents of AI note that people will be able to work with machines as time passes.
Other businesses are realizing that hiring freelancers is more cost-effective and beneficial than hiring employees.
As the way people work changes, access to apps like Slack will remain crucial. Remote work inherently relies upon the use of technology in order for everyone to remain on the same page.
