   > At a previous company, I shared a trick on slack every day with the engineering team, both technical and company-specific, and folks found them pretty useful.

   I would find that annoying, however to not be seen as a jerk I wouldn't say anything.

      Annoyance is a clue; not about them, but about you.

         Weird personal attack, thanks.

         What I'm saying is I am not a jerk and actually do care about my coworkers, however I also don't want a bunch of noise in a chat app I have to use to do my job.

            You can mute the channel. Why would you want your teammates to communicate less ?

               I think that it would be unwise to mute #engineering or whatever the main eng channel is

                  An engineering team may have multiple channels.
