Hard conversations should be had face to face. Sorry but this app seems appropriate for bad managers and cowards only. If my boss has something hard to say to me, I want him or her to look me in the eye. How would you feel about being told you were being made redundant, or that the promotion you applied for wasn't given.... over Slack?

@mickc79 I don't think this would be used for being made redundant or no promotion... because that would be for shitty managers for sure! But as the increase in remote teams who rely on Slack it could help with some things. Then take it to video chat for the harder convos.

@mickc79 Hi Mick, Thanks for your thoughts. You are right. No one should be told they are being made redundant over Slack or text. There are other conversations that people may find hard, but which are not of the kind of 'being made redundant' which people may decide to have on Slack. We did hear this feedback and this is why people said they could use Caring Candor to articulate their hard conversation so they can have it in person. Hope this helps!

Hey, this is Rama from GoodRipple. We have been working hard on GoodRipple 2.0. GoodRipple (original) was focused on having kind act challenges at work - we found that the kind act challenges required too much effort (not sure what that says about us humans...), but we saw that people were using the anonymous kind message feature in the original product. We focused on making things much easier for people to bring their full human selves to work. What's new: 1. Caring Candor using Slack Actions- helps you come up with a mindset and script for having hard conversations in a caring way at work (we listened to the stress and toxic environments that are created when hard conversations are not had or are had badly). So we used some tried & tested frameworks to help authentic conversations to happen that help strengthen the relationship between coworkers. 2. You can send cool Personality Badges in channels using Slack Actions. 3. You can send fun positive messages anonymously. Lots more things to come. We'd love your feedback on what we are working on. Also on Caring Candor - what conversations were you able to have and how that freed you up and made your work relationships better? Thank you for being an awesome community to help makers build cool things!
