    My day job (also: night job) is CEO of Slack, a publicly traded company with investors to whom I am a fiduciary, 110k+ paying customers of all sizes, and thousands of employees I care about very, very much. The last few weeks have been 🤯😳😢 Here’s what it's been like. [Thread]

    It's amazing how much life can be drained from you from trying to use never-quite-actually-works internet for 4-5 hours. I was a vital living man when I boarded this plane and I leave it as a dry husk, hopeless and petty, aggravated beyond any ability to cope.
