""They will see me chirp in on some random thread in some random channel," Grimm said. "People will be like, 'How the hell did you see this?'""

Matt Grimm sorts Slack messages by unread and most recent to sample conversations during short breaks, between meetings, or while walking between buildings. He occasionally pops into channels where employees do not expect him to appear, prompting surprise when he responds to random threads. The method provides a general pulse across roughly 7,000 employees in 14 time zones but is not foolproof and cannot capture every message. Grimm expects truly urgent matters to arrive by direct message. Other executives use varied approaches, including long-form Slack posts to document history and deliberately avoiding Slack on phones to tune out.
