Communication Tools

We use a variety of tools to ensure that our team stays connected, informed, and collaborative. This section will guide you through the communication tools we use and how to use them effectively.

Slack

Slack is our primary communication tool, and it is essential for staying connected with your team and the broader organization. Here’s how we use Slack at 1888 Studio:

Channels

  • General Communication: The #internship channel is dedicated to general communication for all interns. Use this channel to share updates, ask questions, and connect with fellow interns.
  • Project Channels: You will be added to the relevant channels for your specific projects. These channels facilitate focused discussions and collaboration on project-related tasks.
    • Example: #triopia for discussions related to Triopia.
  • Private Channels: If you need access to a private channel, such as one for a specific sub-team or sensitive project, ask your supervisor to add you.

Best Practices

  • Public vs. Private: We prefer using public channels over direct messages to ensure transparency and inclusive communication. Only use private messages for sensitive or personal matters.
  • Threaded Conversations: Use threads to keep conversations organized and to maintain clarity in discussions.
  • Status Updates: Regularly update your status to let your team know your availability.

Telegram and WhatsApp

While Slack is our primary tool for work-related communication, we also use Telegram and WhatsApp for one-to-one communications or non-serious interactions.

Usage Guidelines

  • One-to-One Communication: Use Telegram or WhatsApp for quick, informal communications with colleagues.

  • Non-Serious Use: These platforms can be used for non-serious interactions, such as casual chats or coordinating social activities.

  • Work Communication: We highly encourage keeping work-related discussions on Slack to ensure that information is centralized and accessible to the team.
