The new platform will be like a one-stop-shop you’ll be able to browse our events, keep up to date on announcements, connect with other members, and view our entire video library, all in one place. This is what we’re really most excited about: finally having one unified home for everything Ladies Get Paid. The new platform also has a centralized feed, making it easy to view the content in all the channels you subscribe to. Because this community is so active, and with particularly high engagement in the jobs, advice, and general talk channel, what happens is that the rest of the channels – like industry or location-specific – are empty (even if people posted in there!) On our new platform, nothing will ever be deleted, so you can search historical messages and have even more opportunities to build meaningful connections with other women in the community on a wider range of topics.
That’s because we’re on the free plan (not trying to break the bank!), and so only the most recent 10,000 messages are available.
You may have noticed that messages are getting deleted from Slack. You’ll also be able to message folks directly, and there’s even a group chat function! Here are some things we love about this new space:Įver feel like you’re sending a note into the ether when you’re trying to find someone to connect with? Good news: we’ll now have a Member Directory where you can easily find and connect with anyone in our community. A brand new platform for you to connect more deliberately, efficiently, and meaningfully, so you get even more value out of being part of Ladies Get Paid. And we have to confess, we love imagining all of you toggling between your work Slack and the iconic Ladies Get Paid money scrunchie ?īut all that said, Slack is no longer serving the needs of this big, beautiful, and vibrant community we’ve all built together, so we’re moving onto bigger and better things. Countless businesses have been born out of this space. Thousands of Ladies Get Paid members have hired each other and found jobs. Hundreds of millions of dollars of raises have been negotiated.
Over 95,000 women have signed up to join and over 2 million (!) messages have been exchanged. Slack has been profoundly important to the growth and success of this community. We’re just going to rip the band-aid off: next month, Ladies Get Paid is moving off Slack.
